Mario Balotelli's agent has confirmed that he has held talks with clubs in England over a potential Premier League return for the striker.
The player's representative Mino Raiola claims that teams in England and Italy are interested in recruiting his client when his Nice contract comes to an end this summer.
"Mario is ready to return, he has matured into one of the top 10 strikers in the world," The Mirror quotes him as saying.
"In Italy he's number one. He's worth €100m (£88m), but he's on a free transfer and is therefore a bargain.
"I'm negotiating with many clubs in England and in Italy. I've spoken with Juventus, Roma, Napoli and Inter."
Balotelli, who played for Manchester City and Liverpool during his time in England, has impressed at Nice, scoring 39 goals in 58 appearances in all competitions for the French club.
