Mario Balotelli's Liverpool FC send-off? Italian striker appears to have farewell ahead of imminent move to Nice

Mario Balotelli threw a dinner party for his friends in Manchester city centre on Monday night, in what seemed to be a grand farewell.

Wearing lime green high-top trainers, and an equally garish t-shirt, the Liverpool flop enjoyed a night in the private dining room of Italian restaurant San Carlo, in the north west city.

The Italian striker looks likely to join French side Nice as Jurgen Klopp prepares for a late Anfield clear-out.
