Super agent Mino Raiola insists Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli can still rescue his career.

Despite his erratic form, Raiola insists the maverick forward can bounce back.

“In life it's never too late," Raiola told Corriere dello Sport. “If you think Mario makes me despair, you're wrong because his life has improved a lot and now he just needs the right opportunity.

“Of course, he also needs a bit of luck which he hasn't had over the last two season, but I assure you he's a great person, a lad with a big heart.

“Where will he go? I'm saying nothing.

“Let's see what happens, I won't close the door on any solution. “That goes for Mario and all my players.

“I listen to what is offered to me and then I decide along with them."
