Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli is close to completing a move to Turkish outfit Besiktas, according to the Italian international's agent.

The agent of Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli has said that he is "quite sure" that the Italian international will sign for Turkish outfit Besiktas in this summer's transfer window.

Balotelli spent last season on loan at AC Milan, but only managed one goal in 20 appearances for the Italian club and as it stands is due to return to Liverpool for pre-season training next month.

Mino Raiola, however, has revealed that the 25-year-old is close to completing a move to Besiktas.

"I offered Mario to Besiktas and I'm waiting for their answer. But I'm quite sure the transfer will happen as the president already assured me in the past that he would do everything he can to sign him," Raiola told FotoMac.

Balotelli joined Liverpool from AC Milan in 2014, but only managed four goals in 28 appearances for the Premier League club during a disappointing return to English football.
