He may well be back at AC Milan, but Mario Balotelli is officially still a Liverpool player.
Having moved to Anfield in 2014, the Italian endured a miserable season on Merseyside and was sent back to Milan on loan at the start of last month.
With Brendan Rodgers’ sacking paving the way for Jurgen Klopp to take over as the Liverpool manager, a tweet sent by Balotelli in 2013 has started to collect a few retweets.
KLOPP come on!

Sent on the day that Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund side lost the Champions League final at Wembley to Bayern Munich, the tweet now appears to suggest that Balotelli is a fan of the charismatic German.
It still seems a bit far-fetched to assume that one three-word tweet sent nearly two-and-a-half years ago is enough to say that Balotelli will be on his way back to Anfield, though.
