Mario Balotelli has completed a remarkable return to one of his former clubs after completing his eighth transfer in eight years since leaving Liverpool. The Italian joined the Reds as a desperate replacement for in the summer of 2014, signing in a £16m deal from AC Milan despite then-manager insisting he did not want the striker just a few weeks earlier. He would ultimately prove to be a big-money flop at Anfield, going down as one of the club’s worst ever Premier League signings. Scored just four times from 28 appearances, and only once in the English top-flight during a disappointing year on Merseyside, he struggled back on loan at AC Milan before let him join Nice in the summer of 2016 without demanding a transfer fee just to get him off the books. Balotelli scored just six times for Sion as they were relegated from the Swiss Super League.
"There has been interest in Mario Balotelli from a Saudi club, but nothing concrete," Constantin told reporters last month.
And Balotelli has completed a remarkable return to Adana Demirspor, just one year on from nearly coming to blows with his manager.
