MARIO BALOTELLI has got his best result for ages – by getting engaged to a stunning reality TV star.
The former Manchester City and Liverpool striker has seen his career decline recently.
Mario Balotelli is reportedly engaged to stunning Alessia Messina
Mario Balotelli has only been dating Alessia for a month
He is a free agent after leaving relegated Serie A club Brescia this summer.
And the 30-year-old has since been offered to Genoa, who narrowly escaped the drop last summer, and Serie C club Como.
However, it’s a different story off the pitch, with Italy international Balo hooking up with Big Brother contestant Alessia Messina.
The 27-year-old is a model and influencer with 500,000 followers on Instagram.
She has appeared on Temptation Island, Grande Fratello – Italy’s Big Brother – and other reality shows.
Italian magazine Chi published photos of her with Balotelli at a Sicilian restaurant this week.
The mag quotes the footballer as saying: “I am engaged, and I am in love.”
Balotelli and Alessia have reportedly been an item for a month. He is said to have already met her parents at their Sicily home.
Raven-haired Alessi regularly posts racy pictures on Instagram.
Controversial dad-of-two Balotelli had previously been romantically linked to Brazilian model Dayane Mello, 31.
But he said: “I don’t want any interference. Let’s be clear – I haven’t seen Dayane for some time now.”
