Mario Balotelli: Closer to Anfield Move
Liverpool have reportedly agreed to a £16 million transfer fee for Balotelli, who told Sky Italia on Thursday that "Today is my last day at Milan," according to The Guardian.
Analysis:
Liverpool were linked with Balotelli earlier this summer, but manager Brendan Rodgers denied that any deal was close. It appears he has completely changed his mind, possibly because Milan have backed off their £20 million asking price. Balotelli is a remarkably talented striker, but on and off-the-field antics have led to a frustrating performance record. After spending three season with Inter Milan and three with Manchester City, Balotelli joined AC Milan last summer and appears close to his third team in three years.
