UPDATE
Juventus manager, Massimiliano Allegri has today denied the reports linking his club to Mario Balotelli (see below).
Allegri said: “I think this is a made up story” to TV station RAI.
He went on to say: “Balotelli has done very well with me but he belongs to Liverpool and he is not a player that can arrive at Juventus.”

Mario Balotelli’s short Liverpool career could be coming to its conclusion soon, as Juventus are interested in taking the Italian striker on loan.
According to The Times, Massimiliano Allegri is interested in taking the forward back to Italy on an initial loan spell until the end of the season with a view of a permanent £14m switch in the summer.
Balotelli hasn’t got going at Liverpool at all, with no league goals to his name to date. Brendan Rodgers may be looking to ship Balotelli off, as he hasn’t proven himself at Liverpool at all yet.
Balotelli used to play under Juventus boss, Allegri, in his AC Milan days, and his former boss is looking to bring the controversial striker back to his home country, after just over half a season at Liverpool.
If the Italian was to move away from Anfield, that may force Brendan Rodgers into making a forward signing, given how he’s struggled to find a winning formula with his current crop, and the lack of guarantees on Daniel Sturridge’s fitness.
