Mario Balotelli says Inter Milan are the team to beat in Serie A next season, but he also names Roma as a “surprise” pick to challenge for the Scudetto. According to reporting referenced by multiple outlets, Balotelli expects Roma to enter the title race from outside the usual contenders.
In the same set of comments, Balotelli discusses a potential move that he describes as being close to Juventus. The reports frame this as a near-term development rather than a confirmed transfer, but they indicate Balotelli is considering options that would put him in proximity to the reigning club in terms of sporting profile.
Taken together, the articles present Balotelli’s outlook on the competitive hierarchy in Italian football for the coming season—Inter as favourites, Roma as a potential challenger—alongside his personal remarks suggesting a possible career direction that would connect him to Juventus.
