(Reuters) -Italian striker Mario Balotelli has been signed by Genoa as a free agent, the Serie A club said on Monday, marking a return to the Italian top-tier after more than four years for the 34-year-old who has been without a club since the end of last season.
Genoa, third from bottom in the standings, have scored just seven goals in nine league games, and manager Alberto Gilardino will hope that Balotelli can add to the 52 goals he netted in 141 Serie A games.
