Mario Balotelli is a Milan player. It's official now. He won the line of Adriano Galliani and Mino Raiola (although Milan should question themselves on the opportunity to give themselves hand and foot to a character like that). In the end Manchester City, which started from a request of 37 million euros, bowed to the Rossoneri's offer, 20 million in 5 annual installmentsby halving their claims. The player will receive 4 million a year plus bonuses until June 2017.
The most talked about Italian footballer then returns to "his" Milan, but on the opposite side. Not in Inter who, after taking him from Lumezzane, had launched him into big football, but in Milan, crowning (?) thus the dream of when he was a child and, it seems, he was a supporter of the Rossoneri.
Balotelli, after a good season at City and that European Championship which seemed to have definitively elevated him to the rank of champion, with the brace for Germany and finally a real exultation, full of joy and anger, this year got lost in the mists of Manchester, amidst too many physical troubles and the usual off-the-pitch wit and quarrels with mentor Roberto Mancini, playing little and scoring even less (16 matches, mostly clips, and 3 goals in all competitions).
Silvio Berlusconi, therefore, assures its fans and, a malignant would say, its constituents a coup d'état, one of those who make dreams come true and move the polls. A slightly faded top player (but if you like, you could even call him a star player), a recycled luxury aged just 22 years old, bought, everything is relative, at a sale price, and looking for a consecration that increasingly resembles to a redemption. Hoping that, once again, we will be able to talk about him for a champion goal, and not for everything else.
