Former Italy and Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli has tipped Napoli’s talisman, Victor Osimhen, and AC Milan winger, Rafael Leo, to reach the level of Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City stars, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland.

According to the former Manchester City star, the Serie A duo can attain world-class status “with the right head.”

Balotelli recently appeared on Muschi Selvaggio’s podcast.

He maintained that as long as the Argentine prodigy, Messi, plays, he will continue to regard him as the best player.

Balotelli said: “As long as Messi plays, I will continue to say that he is the strongest player around. Afterwards, perhaps, it will be the turn of Haaland and Mbappé. Also keep an eye on Leao and Osimhen: with the right head, they can reach the level of Erling and Kylian.”
