The Life Of Balotelli, History And Records by Finepaparazy(m): 7:23am On Aug 22, 2014
Balotelli joins Manchester City in August 2010 for £24m from Inter Milan.
He scores 30 goals in 80 games and helps the club win their first Premier League title.
He struggles with discipline at City and is involved in a training-ground altercation with then-manager Roberto Mancini, prompting his departure.




AC Milan sign Balotelli from City in January 2013 for £19m, and the striker goes on to score 30 goals in 54 games.
Having impressed for Italy during Euro 2012, scoring twice in the semi-finals, he nets the winner against England at the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.
Balotelli was a big hit with City supporters during his first spell in England, helping the club win a first league title since 1968.
But he was also in the headlines for several off-the-pitch incidents - including a training-ground bust-up with then-manager Roberto Mancini.
In his second season in Manchester, he scored only three goals in 20 games.
The striker agreed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Milan in January 2013, and played for Italy at the World Cup in Brazil.

He was heavily linked with Arsenal earlier in the summer, but after bringing in Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona for £35m, Arsene Wenger ruled out signing another forward.
Liverpool have so far brought in only one frontman for the new campaign, signing Rickie Lambert from Southampton for £4m.
