AC Milan coach Mihajlovic: Balotelli behaving in exemplary way

Balotelli was snapped up on loan by the Italian giants after a disappointing season at Anfield.

“I’m very happy to be playing at a club as big as Milan”, Bacca told Colombian outlet El Tiempo.

AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi feels Mario Balotelli is showing signs of maturity, while he says the ageing Zlatan Ibrahimovic wanted to return to the club in the past transfer window.

But Paris St-Germain would not sanction a move for the decorated striker. “The starting point for negotiations was half what Inter eventually paid”, Berlusconi said.

Berlusconi was speaking after Milan’s 3-2 win over Palermo on Saturday and discussed the failed move for French star Geoffrey Kongdogbia, as well as Ibrahimovic, with the former Monaco midfielder moving to rivals Inter.

Such was their desperation to get rid of Balotelli, Liverpool were content to let the striker leave a year after spending £16m on him. Ibra is like me and is getting older.

When we have the chance to kill the game, we have to take it. The important thing is that I have rediscovered the team, the right spirit and approach. Balotelli didn’t get a pass wrong tonight and God willing he really is a different Balo. He seemed more serious and considerate.

It is interesting that Borini, who himself could not make too much of an impact during his time at Liverpool, considers Balotelli as one of the two best players he has ever played with.
