LIVERPOOL. — Mario Balotelli said he was glad to be back in the English Premier League after the controversial Italy striker completed his £16 million move to Liverpool on Monday.
Balotelli left England in January 2013 when Manchester City sold him to AC Milan, but the 24-year-old endured a difficult time in Milan, where he was subjected to racial abuse by opposing fans.

After completing his switch to Anfield on a three-year contract worth a reported £90 000 a week, which includes an option for a further year, Balotelli conceded he had been wrong to ever leave England.

“I’m happy to be back because I left England and it was a mistake. I wanted to go to Italy, but I realised it was a mistake,” Balotelli told Liverpool’s website. — AFP.
