Mario Balotelli’s brother, Enoch Barwuah, cut short his football career in Malta after asking to leave Qormi FC because he was not playing regularly.
Qormi Italian coach Tommaso Volpi told The Sunday Times of Malta that the player was due to leave the island this week after asking for his contract to be rescinded.
He said he was unable to guarantee the 20-year-old striker a regular place on the pitch.
The player had been recommended by football agent Claudio Chiellini, the brother of Juventus and Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini.
