Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini is reportedly keen on bringing Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli back to the San Siro.

Mancini and Balotelli did not always see eye-to-eye and were said to have been involved in a training ground bust-up during their time working together at Manchester City.

However, the Daily Star claims that the former Citizens boss is still admirer of the headline-making forward and believes that he is the man to unlock the Italian international's talent.

Balotelli is thought to be living on borrowed time at Anfield after failing to score for the club in the Premier League since his £16m summer move from AC Milan, and this week accepted an FA charge in relation to making racist and anti-Semitic comments on social media.

While Inter are reported to keen, the Nerazzurri potentially face competition from big-spending Paris Saint-Germain, who could be looking for a replacement for Edinson Cavani, if the Uruguayan leaves the Ligue 1 club.
