Balotelli's representatives are said to be in talks with the Anfield club after a £16m fee was agreed with Milan; but with the Daniel Sturridge and newly signed Rickie Lambert , Carragher asks if Rodgers can accommodate another striker upfront.
"They definitely need a striker, there's no doubt about that," he told Sky Sports.
"At the moment they only have Daniel Sturridge and Rickie Lambert - it looks like Fabio Borini is going to move on - and you need strikers.
"Would he be the final piece of the jigsaw? Would he make the starting XI if everyone was fit and firing? Who knows?
"At the moment Daniel Sturridge has got 36 goals in 50 games for Liverpool and at this moment he is the main man up front.
"Would Brendan then accommodate another striker, whoever that may be, like he did with Luis Suarez?
"He has lots of options now, Brendan Rodgers, and I don't think he will play the same team too often so they do need those options."
Known for his frequent scrapes, it is believed that Liverpool will insist on a code of conduct clause before concluding a deal to bring Super Mario back to the Premier League.
