3. He is the marquee signing the Reds were after
Although the Reds have snapped up a whole host of talented players over the summer in their bid to replace Luis Suarez, one thing they haven’t been able to do is to snap up a marquee signing that will both please the fans and give the players a big boost. The club were reportedly chasing Radamel Falcao, but given the fee it would be required to sign the Colombian’ striker and the fact that he has his heart set on Real Madrid means that he wasn’t an option anymore.
But the signing of Balotelli will finally give the fans a huge boost as they will finally have the big summer signing that they were clamoring for. Even if he is being bought relatively cheaply, the star power Balotelli brings along with him is enormous and the talent that the 24-year-old possesses is beyond question. And that is just why this will be a huge boost to the Reds chances this season.
