Mario Balotelli is unlikely to rediscover the form that once made him one of the world's top-rated youngsters, says Christophe Dugarry.
Former France international Christophe Dugarry is sceptical over whether Mario Balotelli can rediscover his best form at Nice.
Ex-Inter, Manchester City and AC Milan striker Balotelli ended a nightmare spell at Liverpool by securing a free transfer to the Ligue 1 side on transfer deadline day.
Dugarry, a 1998 World Cup winner who was also something of a mercurial talent, does not expect to see Balotelli back at the level of form he showed in helping City to the 2011-12 Premier League title and Italy into the final of Euro 2012 – comparing him unfavourably with Hatem Ben Afra.
