Mario Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola has criticised Jurgen Klopp's treatment of the Italian striker at Liverpool, after he left to sign for Nice on a one-year contract.
Balotelli, 26, was left out of Liverpool's preseason tour and trained with the reserves as Klopp made it clear he was not part of his plans.
And Raiola, who also represents Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku among others, was upset by the way his client was handled.
"In the end, the higher-ups at Liverpool admitted that Klopp was wrong," Raiola told Gazzetta dello Sport.
