Sion and Liverpool negotiating over Mario Balotelli deal, claim Swiss club

FC Sion have opened negotiations to sign Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli, the Swiss club's president Christian Constantin has claimed.

Balotelli, 26, is not in Jurgen Klopp's plans at Anfield and has been linked with an exit before the transfer window closes next week.
