MARIO BALOTELLI is reportedly on the verge of joining Swiss side FC Sion in a permanent transfer.
This comes just days after the Adana Demirspor striker had a bust-up with his manager.
Demirspor boss Vincenzo Montella was furious with Balotelli’s poor performance during a Turkish Super Lig clash with Umraniye on Saturday.
The pair got into a heated exchange after the full-time whistle as staff members intervened to prevent the confrontation from escalating further.
After the game, Montella refused to go into any details regarding the incident, but he did admit that Balotelli “fell short” of expectations.
He told BeIN Sports: “I don’t need to say anything about Balotelli. He fell short of my expectations and there are tensions like that at the end of the game.”

The incident clearly created a huge rift between the two as Balotelli is now determined to leave Adana Demirspor.
And, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, he could already be on his way out of Turkey.
The Italian has decided to join FC Sion on a permanent basis.
A full agreement with the Swiss Super League side is claimed to be in place and a medical is imminent.

He signed a three-year deal with Demirspor in July 2021, but he is already set to leave after just 13 months.
