Mario Balotelli showed potential suitors he has the attitude they might be looking for, delivering a positive update on being forced to train with Liverpool's second string.
Jurgen Klopp's first-team squad are currently in California ahead of games against Chelsea, AC Milan and Roma in the United States.
"Since he has been back here, he's been a good guy and I can't say anything different than that," Klopp said earlier this month.
"There will be a club around who would be happy to have a new Mario Balotelli, if you like. I have spoken clearly to the player about that.
"It's now time to make decisions and I try to help Mario to get in the best shape he can be in and we will see what happens."
Balotelli did not feature for the club's Under-23 team as they beat Rhyl on Sunday, but shared an image on Instagram of him with Reds youngsters captioned: "Still working hard with reserve team. Top quality session today with top players. #respect"
A season on loan at Milan last term yielded just one Serie A goal in 20 outings, with his agent Mino Raiola, and new Italy boss Giampiero Ventura, highlighting the coming campaign's importance to the striker.
Raiola told Corriere dello Sport: "In life it is never too late. If you think Mario makes me despair, you are wrong because his life has improved a lot and now he only needs to have the right opportunity."
Ventura said when presented as Azzurri head coach: "When you consider the fact he didn't play at Milan, that Liverpool have abandoned him, it's clear that he's at a crossroads.
"Whenever Balotelli has shown that he wants to be a footballer, he has shown absolute quality. There's no prejudice, but it comes down to what happens on the pitch."
