BALOTELLI: I’D RETURN TO CITY FOR NOTHING
MADCAP Mario Balotelli claims he would go back to Manchester City for free.
The former Liverpool and City striker (above) is in his second season at Ligue 1 Nice and has scored 15 goals this season.
But the Italian, now 27, does not want
to end his career in France. He said: “The aim is to go back to a big club. To win something important again.
“I love City, the fans and the club. I’d happily go back there for free. It was the best year of my life, even if the city is a little difficult to live in. Manchester is not London.
“In football terms, City was spectacular. I am so happy they are going strong with Pep Guardiola and hope they win the title with 20 games to spare.”
Balotelli played at City for two years until January 2013 under Roberto Mancini.
The Italy striker added: “I called my agent and asked, ‘What am I doing in January?’ He said he didn’t know. I want to remain, so we’ll see.
“Admittedly, I would like to get back to having a strong squad behind me. I want to play in the Champions League and win something.
“I am certainly not thinking about the end of my career yet. I am 27 years old, so I can play another six or seven years at the top level.”
