Mario Balotelli Rejoins AC Milan on Loan


Mario Balotelli has joined AC Milan on a season-long loan from Liverpool.

The Italy international is taking a pay-cut to move back to Milan, with Liverpool also paying part of his wages.

Having returned to England from the seven-time European champions in August 2014 for £16m, Balotelli scored just once in the Premier League.

He said: “I have been asked to tone down my look, to follow Milan’s style, and I will follow that without trouble.

“The professional Mario didn’t just land here in Milan, even at Liverpool my behaviour and lifestyle were normal.

“Over the last year there was never a problem with my private life. I may have put pictures from restaurants on Instagram but that does not mean I did not train, even though I was not playing.”
