Jan 2 2021

Yes, you read that right. In an exclusive piece reported by TVMSport, it appears that Hamrun Spartans FC may be in talks with three high-profile football stars.

After the go-ahead from new Hamrun boss Joseph Portelli, the club may be looking at signing one of three high-profile players being Mario Balotelli, Alexandre Pato and Yayo Sanogo, with a line of communication already being created with Balotelli’s agent Mino Raiola. Balotelli is currently under contract with Silvio Berlusconi’s AC Monza until June 2021 – Hamrun could be a possibility thereafter.

Alexandre Pato may be the most likely to join after he had reached an agreement to terminate his contract with Sao Paolo back in August 2020 but only time will tell what the future holds for the Spartans.
