Former Liverpool outcast Mario Balotelli has labelled his move to the Merseyside club as the worst move of his life.
The enigmatic Italian joined the Reds for £16 million under Brendan Rodgers in 2014, described then by the now Celtic manager as a “calculated risk”.
Handed the unenviable task of replacing Luis Suarez, Balotelli’s stay at Anfield was disastrous. He scored just one goal in 16 matches in a red shirt an moved back to AC Milan on loan for the 2015-16 season.

Balotelli finally found an escape route from Liverpool on deadline day, joining OGC Nice, where he has already doubled his tally for the Reds after scoring twice in the 3-2 win over Marseille.
Ultimately, he says, he just did not like the club.
“Apart from the fans, who were fantastic with me, I must be honest, and the players, who I had a good rapport with, I didn’t like the club,” he told Canal+.
“I had two coaches, Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp.
“As people they didn’t make a good impression on me.
“I didn’t get along with them.”
