PSG eye up Super Mario

One thing you cannot accuse Carlo Ancelotti of not having is guts.

Indeed, the Sun are today reporting that controversial Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has emerged on the Italian's radar as he continues his quest to turn Paris-Saint Germain into the new Lyon, namely, the dominatrix of French football.

Balotelli has had a poor start to the season and with Roberto Mancini reportedly eyeing up Radamel Falcao for a January purchase, the stage seems clear for Balotelli to make his long-awaited exit from the club.

Any potential move to PSG would of course see the Italy international team up with Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a strike partnership that would surely mark as the moodiest and most eccentric of all time. One wonders if they would even pass to each other, let alone gel as a pairing.

Perhaps Ancelotti hasn't quite thought this brainwave of his through. Move onto next target - Cristiano Ronaldo anyone?
