Juventus loan offer for Mario Balotelli rejected

Juventus have had a loan offer for Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli turned down. The club have already signed Llorente from Athletic Bilbao, but he will be arriving only in the summer after his contract expires.

Manchester City rejected the bid saying they do not want to loan out Balotelli at the moment, and have put a €25 million price tag on him if Juventus decide to secure his services permanently.

With Llorente on his way in the summer, its very unlikely that Juventus would go for another buy. Meanwhile, AC Milan are also interested in the Italian star, and may just turn out to land the striker before the transfer window closes.
