Samuel Eto’o has offered some unlikely advice to Mario Balotelli in light of his impending transfer to Manchester City. Eto’o himself isn’t renowned for having the best temperament, particularly in Barcelona where he divided the dressing before leaving for Inter Milan.
Eto’o commented “Mario has the potential to go on and be one of the best players in the world, but he must sort some things out in his head.
“The older players at Inter have always tried to advise him. I am not sure how successfully but, if he is to be a success and not waste his career he must listen to the players at Manchester City.
“This is the chance for a fresh start.”
It’s advice that is unlikely to be heeded by the teenager as the richest club in the world continue to pursue him.
