Balotelli’s contract at Nice is due to expire at the end of the season and Raiola has suggested that his client will be on the move.
Speaking to Italian radio station RAI Raiola said he believes Balotelli is one of the best strikers in the world.
"Mario is ready to come back to Italy. He is one of the 10 best strikers in the world, and the number one in Italy," he said.

"He is worth €100m, but he is a free agent so he is a bargain.”
The agent also mentioned some of the clubs he has talked to Balotelli about, including former side Inter Milan.
He also mentioned that he was talking to clubs in England.
"I'm already negotiating with many teams in England and Italy. I talked with Juventus, Roma, Napoli, Inter.”
When asked about the possibility of a return to another former club, AC Milan, Raiola said “No because there is [sporting director Massimiliano] Mirabelli and I can't talk with him, I'm not at his level."
