Balotelli agrees personal terms with Marseille

The controversial figure has enjoyed a prolific season at Nice, scoring 26 goals in 37 competitive games.

However, with his contract set to expire next month, speculation has been mounting about where Balotelli will be playing next season.

A return to his home country had long been tipped as the most likely destination but going by recent reports, it seems the Italian could be staying in France. 

Marseille are alleged to be the most high-profile club to meet Balotelli's demands but the move could hinge on their performane against Atletico Madrid in the Europa League final on Wednesday night. 

The Ligue 1 outfit need to win to ensure their place in next year's Champions League. Although there is an outside chance they could still achieve it domestically.

Going into the final league game of the season, Marseille are one point behind Lyon, who are in the final qualifying place.
