Antonio Cassano has reportedly been sending Mario Balotelli a flood of messages to convince him to transfer to Sampdoria.

The Liverpool striker is surplus to requirements but has struggled to complete a move away this summer.

But Italian international Cassano is trying to engineer a deal to see his controversial compatriot join him in Italy.

According to Italian paper Il Secolo XIX, the main message from Cassano said: ‘Come to Samp and you won’t regret it, we’ll do great things together.’

A deal for the striker remains difficult as Balotelli requires a £4.25million-a-year deal.

Balotelli-Cassano combo? It must be mouth-watering for Walter Zenga.
