Jose Mourinho has reportedly been praising the abilities of AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli, sparking rumours that he may be in to sign the striker this summer.
Gazzetta reported the quotes that show Mourinho talking up the controversial striker, who joined AC Milan after having played with Manchester City in the Premier League.
The pair worked together at Inter Milan where Mourinho famously won the Champions League, and he has recently praised the talent of the Italian striker:
“Balotelli is special. His technical ability is a gift from god.”
“It’s a question of him understanding that he could do better, understanding his true potential”, Mourinho added.
Various sources from around the social football media world also claim that the striker’s agent said a move to Chelsea is a “big possibility”.
Finally, the Daily Star report that Mourinho wants to work with Balotelli yet again.
Chelsea are seeking a new frontline after a staggered season in that area last campaign. Diego Costa is also on the edge of a move to The Bridge, with Romelu Lukaku reportedly returning from loan next season.
