The relationship between Balotelli and Brescia is getting worse. Last Sunday, the Italian striker received a dismissal from Brescia, 2 years earlier than the contract deadline. The reason is that the Serie A relegation zone cannot withstand the "rival" lack of discipline.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, Balotelli with an unacceptable attitude refused to join the team. It was not until the coaching staff was angry that the striker submitted a health certificate stating that he had... stomach pain and had a check-up deadline of June 10. The team finds it difficult to accept this reason when the "prove" do not report early. On June 8, Balotelli traveled to the training ground but was chased straight away by security guards.
In theory, Balotelli still has a chance to stay at Brescia. The Italian striker could hire a lawyer to counter-sue his parent club. But no matter the result, he has become a thorn in the eyes of both his teammates and the coaching staff.
In this situation, Mino Raiola's representative suddenly spoke up to denounce: "Balotelli has been discriminated against. He didn't even get tested for COVID-19 like his other teammates in Brescia, and didn't even get a cotton swab." The former Man City striker also implicitly confirmed this with a short Instagram post: "Everything is the truth".
Brescia was outraged by these statements and demanded legal action to punish Mario Balotelli and his representative Mino Raiola for slander.
"It must be emphasized that we always ensure medical examination for all players and staff, despite the slanderous accusations of irresponsible people.
Legally, we have discussed lawyers to take action against the fabricators. Brescia are forced to take tough measures to protect the club and those who love us," Brescia said in a statement.
Serie A is expected to restart on June 21. Currently, Brescia is at the bottom of the table after 26 rounds and has little chance of successfully staying in the league.
