Balotelli may still have a future:

The Italian maverick has not been able to secure a move away from Liverpool but it is now understood that a host of clubs are interested in his signature.

The likes of Bologna, Verona and Chievo are reportedly plotting a move for the Italian and it is understood Liverpool might have to pay a significant part of the £6m of Balotelli’s wages this year to successfully offload him.
