I’m back to work hard, not to talk; Balotelli says of return to Milan

Mario Balotelli has re-joined AC Milan on a season-long loan and immediately declared he was back to work harder and not to talk.

The Liverpool striker, who had been training away from the first team squad for most of the last month, said he needed to stop talking and knuckle down.

Balotelli was pictured coming out of a black Audi wearing a red Puma hoodie as he made his way into hospital before penning a deal
He said: “I’m happy to have returned. I have little to say, just that I’m looking forward to training and proving my worth.
“I’m physically well — I just have to train with the squad.

“I have a lot of motivation but I just have to work and not speak.

“Did I think I would return to Milan? Yes, I always had Milan in my heart and I always had hope that I would return one day.

“Will I end my career here? I just have to start to work and have a good year, just have to work and that’s that.”

Milan, who sold Balotelli to Liverpool for £16million, don’t have to pay a loan fee for the 25-year-old and it is understood that Liverpool will pay half of the salary he will receive at the San Siro — a figure which is likely to be in the region of £2.5m.
