#2 Mario Balotelli
Mario Balotelli is a player who has not able to achieve his world-class potential. His journey has been an eventful one, sadly, more off-field than on-field.
The striker’s initial years were his best years till now. Back then, he was considered to be one of the best goal-scorers in the world and the striker lived up to those expectations. The Italian was blessed with all the qualities that a striker needs and was touted to achieve greatness in football. However, his indiscipline and poor attitude created a hindrance in his rise. This is why despite his impressive performances on the field, the player did not last long enough at a single club. On one side his off-field antics continued to increase and on the other, his form declined match after match.
After a disappointing last couple of years, the 28-year-old has now finally shown signs of resurgence during his recent loan spell at Marseille as he scored 8 goals in 15 games for the French team. At 28, the Italian striker is a free agent now but still has a lot to offer. His overall tally of 156 career goals speaks volumes about his quality and it will be exciting to see where he goes next.
