Mario Balotelli has played for seven different clubs since leaving Liverpool, with his latest move bringing him back to Turkish side Adana Demirspor. The career path Balotelli has followed will be considered one of the strangest in modern football, particularly given his prodigious breakthrough. He only spent a season on Merseyside before being loaned back to AC Milan in 2015, then going on to join OGC Nice on a permanent deal. After that came moves to Marseille, Brescia, Monza, Adana Demirspor and FC Sion, with the latter switch from Turkey to Switzerland coming after an on-pitch row with manager Vincenzo Montella.
But almost 13 months on and with Montella departing Adana at the end of last season, the 33-year-old has now rejoined the club.
Balotelli made 35 appearances in his first stint at Adana, scoring 19 goals and laying on seven assists, which is among his best returns for a single club.
Speaking in 2016, Balotelli his £16 million transfer from Milan to Liverpool as “the worst mistake of my life.”
