Italian striker Mario Balotelli remains a captivating figure for the leadership of his club. Adriano Galliani, the managing director of AC Milan, expressed his admiration for the former Manchester City striker in GazettaDelloSport.
Galliani suggested that Balotelli could potentially secure AC Milan’s 9th Golden Ball. He shared his views on the current top strikers globally, placing Balotelli in the 5th position and expressing optimism about his potential ascent. Galliani emphasized Balotelli’s youth and the belief that he possesses the qualities to become a football great. Milan has previously had eight Golden Ball winners in its history, and Galliani expressed hope for a 9th.
Speaking about Balotelli’s performance, Galliani revealed that he communicates with the player daily, encouraging him to excel in what he considers to be Balotelli’s first starting season with consistency—a feat not achieved during his stints at Inter and Manchester City.
