She’s sexy, but must be thick as…

Soccer star Mario Balotelli has scored with a sizzling French model.

Sexy Vanessa Lawrens has been soaking up the sun with the Manchester City star as he enjoys a break on the party island of Ibiza with his friends.

The 22-year-old beauty was spotted getting out of the striker’s car with a pretty blonde pal and leaning in for a kiss with Mario.

Last week, Vanessa – who is a model, singer and presenter – snuggled up to 21-year-old Mario on the back of a jet-ski in a tiny bikini.

The footballer has been making the most his summer break before the new football season begins.

He was recently spotted out clubbing with American socialite Paris Hilton.

Off the pitch, the fiery sportsman has been in a paternity battle with his ex-girlfriend Raffaella Fico.

The couple split in April after their tempestuous year-long relationship ended with a doorstep bust-up.

But three weeks ago, model Raffaella revealed she was four months pregnant and claimed the baby was his.

Mario was initially said to be “delighted” with the news but then demanded a DNA test, which she has agreed to.
