Ronald Koeman’s Everton have been linked with having an interest in former Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli.
After a dreadful time at Liverpool, Balotelli joined Nice on a one-year contract and the striker was in terrific form for the club who finished third in Ligue 1 last season.
Scoring 15 goals in 23 league appearances, the striker revived his career in France and with his contract expiring at the end of the month, he is again attracting interest from clubs across Europe.
Borussia Dortmund are interested in taking him to Germany and there is also an chance that he could sign a new deal with Nice but Balotelli could also court offers from England again.
According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, Everton are considering snapping up the former Liverpool man this summer and could soon enter into discussions with Mino Raiola.
