Mario Balotelli Set For Liverpool Medical Ahead Of £16m Move

Mario Balotelli is set to undergo a medical with Liverpool before the weekend ahead of a £16m move from AC Milan. The controversial Italian is expected to replace Luis Suarez at Anfield as boss Brendan Rodgers finally nets his big-name signing.

Balotelli has been linked with Liverpool and Premier League rivals Arsenal throughout the course of the summer, but the Reds should seal the deal before the weekend. The 24-year-old said his goodbyes to his AC Milan team-mates earlier today and, according to Sky Sports Italia, will fly to Liverpool to complete his medical tomorrow.

Should the deal go through smoothly as planned, Balotelli could make his debut on Monday night – when the Reds travel to his former club Manchester City.


A statement on AC Milan’s website said: ‘Mario Balotelli left Milanello’s sporting centre at 1.30pm (local time), after saying goodbye to his team-mates.

‘Before leaving the premises, the striker has said goodbye to members of Milan’s press office.
