Serie B promoted Pescara Club Chairman Daniel Sebastiani said he would not sign Italian striker Balotelli.
Ballotelli has few opportunities to play after joining Genoa last season. Now he has expired his contract and is looking for a new team. There are rumors that Pescara intends to be visa-free for Balotelli. However, Chairman Sebastiani said: "Ballotelli? Pescara cannot provide the opportunity to sign him. Balotelli is a very important player and one of the best players in Italy at present. He could have had a different career. However, we believe in our development philosophy and we attach more importance to cultivating young players."
Pescara successfully upgraded through the Serie C upgrade play-off last season and will participate in the Serie B next season. President Sebastiani went on to say: "The club hasn't played in Serie B for four years, so we need to adapt first before we can determine the final goal."
