Liverpool flop Mario Balotelli is set to head to Turkish side Besiktas this summer as the player is close to complete the move to the club.

However, there are doubts as to whether the move is a permanent one or a loan deal as the player’s wage demands indicate that the move may be a loan deal instead of being a permanent move.

The player has been far from failure for the Reds as his signing can be termed as an ‘unmitigated disaster’ for the Reds. The player found the net only four times in his debut season at the Anfield before he was sent back to AC Milan on a loan deal from where the Reds had signed him on the first place in a deal worth £16m.

A move is expected for the player before the end of the summer transfer window and Besiktas are keen on taking him. Although Balo’s wage demands may make the move a loan deal with the Reds paying a part of his wages.
