Balotelli can leave on a free transfer in January: Brescia

Milan, Dec 3: Italian football club Brescia president Massimo Cellino has said striker Mario Balotelli can leave the club on a free transfer in January because he is not suited to a relegation battle.

"In January, he can leave on a free. In this moment, he needs to choose which road is best for him," Cellino was quoted as saying by the BBC.

The 29-year-old has found the back of the net twice and suffered racist abuse in a Serie A match away to Hellas Verona.

Balotelli joined the side in the summer from Marseille.
