Balotelli's
club career has stalled at Anfield after joining the Reds from Milan
last year and the 25-year-old played his last game for Italy at the
Azzurri's ill-fated World Cup campaign in Brazil.
But
with former Sampdoria coach Sinisa Mihajlovic now in charge of the
seven-time European champions, reports in Italy claim Balotelli is on
his way back to the club.
Galliani indicated that both he and club president Silvio Berlusconi would support Balotelli's return to the club.
According to Gazzetta dello
Sport, Balotelli has already spoken with Mihajlovic and the club are
preparing an offer that would see the striker complete a loan deal.
The possible return of the troubled star - whose off-field antics while a
player with Manchester City only fuelled his notoriety - is being given
a mixed reception.
Balotelli began his professional
career under Roberto Mancini at Inter Milan, when Mihajlovic was the
coach's assistant, in 2007.
He
spent three troubled years at Manchester City in 2010-2013, a period
marked by regular off-field antics and a poor disciplinary record that
saw him fall out with Mancini.
Balotelli
returned to Italy, signing for Inter's bitter rivals Milan in January
2013, but was sold to Liverpool in the summer of 2014.
