Berlusconi: Balotelli set for Liverpool return

On-loan AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli failed to make an impact at the San Siro, scoring just once in 20 Serie A appearances.

Mario Balotelli is set for a return to Liverpool after AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi confirmed the striker is among a host of departures at the club.

Balotelli joined Milan on a season-long loan in August last year but suffered a disappointing campaign at the San Siro, scoring just once in 20 Serie A appearances.

The 25-year-old said in April he does not want a return to Liverpool at the end of the season, but with two years left on his deal at Anfield he will be left with no other option.
