Mario Balotelli, 26, has been deemed surplus to requirements at Liverpool but one club in Italy passed on the forward.
Chief executive Giovanni Carnevali says Sassuolo turned down the opportunity to sign out-of-favor Liverpool forward Mario Balotelli.
Balotelli has been deemed surplus to requirements by Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, now training with the Premier League club's under-23 side following an unsuccessful loan spell at AC Milan last season.
The 26-year-old is struggling to find a new home after Besiktas coach Senol Gunes distanced himself from the Italian and Serie A side Sassuolo have added themselves to the list.
