Kop flop Mario Balotelli has suffered another snub after Besiktas claimed they don’t want him.

Balotelli’s agent Mino Raiola claimed Besiktas wanted to end Balotelli’s misery on Merseyside by signing him from Liverpool.

However Besiktas sporting director Erdal Torunogullari has rejected Raiola’s claims, saying they are not interested in signing the controversial Italian striker.

Torunogullari claims Besiktas’ priority is hanging on to star striker Mario Gomez, who scored 26 league goals last season.

“We know Raiola well,” he said. “He’s even said Balotelli will go to Besiktas, but it’s not like that.

"We’re not interested, our priority is to hold on to Mario Gomez.”

Balotelli’s former club AC Milan turned down the chance to sign him last month when his loan spell ended and Raiola looks like he will have to continue his search for a new club for the fallen hitman.
