Liverpool's Mario Balotelli wanted by Paris Saint-Germain?

Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli has reportedly been identified by Paris Saint-Germain as a marquee transfer target.

The Italy international has struggled to find form at Anfield following his £16m move from AC Milan in the summer.

Only two goals have come from Balotelli during Liverpool's season, in which they have failed to recreate last season's attacking intent.

Despite his lacklustre time in front of goal, Ligue 1 champions PSG are considering a move for the 24-year-old as long as Financial Fair Play restrictions do not prevent it, according to The Express.

It is also believed that the French outfit are keen to look at attacking options due to doubts over Ezequiel Lavezzi's and Edinson Cavani's futures.
