MARIO BALOTELLI asserted that he is still capable of tearing up Serie A in an impassioned rant.
The veteran striker is on the search for the 12th club of his career after leaving Turkish side Adana Demirspor in the summer.
He has been linked with several moves including the Spanish third-tier side Alicante.
While Torino were tipped to snap up the former Manchester City star this week as a replacement for the injured Duvan Zapata.
Balotelli would likely be keen to return to playing in his native Italy and he is confident he would score goals in Serie A.
He appeared on a stream where the host compared him to Venezia frontman Joel Pohjanpalo, which Balotelli took exception to.

The former Liverpool man said: “What the f*** are you saying?
“Just because I wasn’t in Serie A (in recent years), what I did doesn’t count? F*** off, you and Serie A.
“It’s a promise, I’ll smash Serie A when I sign (for a new club), I’ll smash this f***ing Serie A.”
Balotelli, 34, has also been linked with a move to Serie A strugglers Genoa, who are managed by former Italy striker Alberto Gilardino.

But he has chosen to bide his time, recently stating his intent to play in Italy once more.
The frontman has trained by himself in Brescia to keep up his fitness.
