Is Mario Balotelli going to be on the move later this year? That's the rumor right now—and it appears as though there could be some truth to it.

Balotelli is a member of the AC Milan club at the moment. But the club has struggled this season—and Balotelli has faced his fair share of issues in recent weeks—so the thought is that Balotelli might be playing his final games with the club right now. One report even suggests that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has already met with Balotelli's agent to discuss a deal for the striker. And talks between the two sides reportedly went so well that there's a strong possibility that Balotelli could sign with Arsenal this summer. That would put him back into the Premier League and put him on a club that is sponsored by Puma, the company that inked him to an endorsement deal recently.

This is, of course, all speculation and hearsay at this point. But it's worth keeping an eye on the situation. Because if Balotelli bolts for Arsenal, it would obviously be huge news.
