Marseille striker Mario Balotelli says the "really extreme" racism he's witnessed in Italian football is worse than any he's seen in England or France.
The 28-year-old joined Marseille in January after terminating his contract at Nice but told Quelli Che Il Calcio (h/t ESPN FC) he hopes to retire at Italian club Brescia.
On the subject of racism, however, Balotelli said Italy is the worst country he's played in when it comes to racist abuse: "In England, on a football level, I never saw anything like this. In France, I've not seen much—but no one is like Italy.
