Mario Balotelli inadvertently reveals he won’t play for Liverpool again

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 of Luis Suarez returning to Anfield as Balotelli – who is adverse to running – 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 forgot he’s 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 said yesterday that he had never wanted to sign the player for Liverpool.
