Liverpool finally about to get Mario Balotelli off their books – for now

At last.

Let's be honest, when it's Mario Balotelli, you'll accept loan bids. It seems that the only way Liverpool can get the mercurial Italian off their books is to send him back to Milan. Temporarily. AC Milan, God love them, look to be about to land a return for the striker who has seemingly done nothing since coming to Anfield. Like, nothing. But the Rossoneri general manager, Adriano Galliani, has confirmed that the club are in talks with Liverpool about a move for Super Mario - give or take the Super. "We're in talks with Liverpool to bring him back on loan. We've not reached an agreement yet about how much of his wage we will have to pay and how much they will pay." If ever there was a need for an LOL in an article, this is it. Because paying for his wages is where the whole thing could break down. Would you pay for him? Rodgers though might be happy to pay all of his wages just to get him to leave. "There's no agreement just yet," Galliani said. "The player has realised that this is the very last train for him to get on. He wants to come back, so let's see." Another last chance for Mario.
