The president of promoted Crotone continues to talk up the prospect of signing Mario Balotelli.

The Liverpool striker has endured a difficult season on-loan at AC Milan.

But Crotone president Raffaele Vrenna says: "It would be an honor to bring Mario Balotelli here.

"He's in the heritage of Italian football and could represent a gamble to win together.

"He must reconsider his reputation, I think here he would score 25 goals. However, his high salary may be an obstacle."
