Mario Balotelli claimed he has always had Milan "in his
heart" as he trained back with his former club.
The Italy striker underwent a medical this morning before
agreeing a season-long loan deal back to Serie A from
Liverpool. Balotelli, 25, had joined the Anfield club from
Milan in a £16m transfer last summer.
The Italian club have now agreed a £1.6m loan deal with
Liverpool paying half the wages and no agreement to make
the move permanent.
Balotelli, who will again wear the No 45 shirt, was greeted
by two hundred fans at the Milanello training ground.
"I am happy to be back," he said. "I just want to train and
show what I can do. Physically I am quite good. I just have
to work.
"I always thought I could return – because I have always
had Milan in my heart and I always hoped to return.
"Do I want to finish my career here? I have to start to work
from now and have a good year and then we will see."
