MARIO BALOTELLI is being linked with ANOTHER transfer less than 12 months after signing for Swiss side FC Sion.
The former Manchester City and Liverpool striker, 32, signed a two-year deal at the beginning of the season and has netted six goals in 18 games for the club.
But he is already being mooted with a potential exit this summer as interest from Romania emerges.
According to Romanian outlet GSP, Rapid Bucharest are keen to strike a deal with the Italian forward.
However, they have been told they will need to pay Balotelli £880,000 up front in order to acquire his signature.
A move to Bucharest would make it the 12TH transfer of the attacker's journeyman career.

He has also been capped by Romania's U16s, but refused to turn out for their U20 side after being called up.
