Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus is eager to tempt Mario Balotelli to Brazil.

The former Inter Milan striker is a free agent after spells in France with Nice and Olympique Marseille.

Balotelli is now in talks with Fla.

“Mario is a great player," Jorge Jesus told reporters in a video interview.

“If Balotelli were to arrive, he is a player who could do very well in Brazilian football, as he has a lot of quality."
