Mario Balotelli inadvertently hints his Liverpool career is over

Typical Mario

Robert Redmond

It’s hardly a secret that Mario Balotelli won’t play for Liverpool again.

The striker is on-loan at AC Milan, and there’s about as much chance as Luis Suarez returning to Anfield as Balotelli playing in a Jurgen Klopp team.

The Italian still supports Liverpool though, and yesterday wished his former teammates well in their game against Manchester United, urging them to “destroy” their rivals.

However, Balotelli referred to the Liverpool players as his “ex team mates”, signalling that he won’t be returning to Anfield any time soon.

Either that or he’s forgotten he’s only on-loan at AC Milan, and hasn’t actually signed a permanent deal with the Serie A club.

Balotelli has only played three times this season, scoring once, and his former manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted he never wanted to sign the player for Liverpool.
