Cape Town - Sampdoria president, Massimo Ferrero, has offered a career lifeline to Mario Balotelli but he will have to take a pay reduction if he wants to take up the chance to return to the Serie A.
The Daily Star report that Sampdoria have declared their interest in signing the Italian international.
The British newspaper rely on Spanish sources who suggest that Liverpool are willing to make a loss on the £16 million that the Anfield club paid to sign the mercurial talent in August.
