Mario Balotelli drops hint over Liverpool future

Mario Balotelli has appeared to suggest that his Liverpool career is as good as over.

The Italy international returned to AC Milan on a season-long loan in the summer transfer window after the 25-year-old moved to Anfield in a £16m deal in 2014.

Balotelli scored just four goals in 26 appearances in all competitions during his first season at Anfield, although he only netted once in the Premier League.

But the Italy striker posted a telling tweet on Sunday afternoon as he watched the Merseyside outfit face bitter rivals Manchester United at Anfield.

Good Luck to my ex team mates.. Come on Liverpool destroy them today👊🏾

Balotelli moved to the Serie A side on loan last summer after he was deemed surplus to requirements by former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers.

The Northern Irishman’s replacement Jurgen Klopp has remained tight-lipped over Balotelli’s long-term future at the 18-time English champions.
