His agent maintains that he is happy at Liverpool, but Mario Balotelli may have a different view of things right about now.

The Italian striker was dropped from the squad to play in Saturday's match against West Ham, with manager Brendan Rodgers opting to name returning star Daniel Sturridge, Fabio Borini and Rickie Lambert as his attacking substitutes in favour of Balotelli.

The oft-criticized forward has not started a match for the Reds since November, and despite what his agent Mino Raiola says, there is still the possibility that someone could look to get him out of England before the January transfer window slams shut next week.
