According to reports from Tuttosport, relayed by TMW, the enigmatic striker aims to make a significant impact in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Atletico Madrid. He hopes that a decisive performance, resulting in Milan’s progression in the competition, will make him indispensable to the team and less likely to be sold.
In a recent interview with Soccer magazine, Balotelli hinted at a possible return to the Premier League, although he admitted that it would be challenging to wear any jersey other than that of Manchester City. “In football, nothing is impossible,” he stated, expressing his admiration for José Mourinho despite their past conflicts. Balotelli emphasized that he maintains a “healthy friendship” with Mourinho, suggesting that a reunion could be on the cards despite their history.
