Mario Balotelli has officially signed with Liverpool.
The Reds have agreed on a 16 million-pound ($26.5 million) fee with Milan, according to ESPNFC.
The Italy international, who has signed a long-term deal, met his new teammates on Monday and took part in a short training session, while he will travel to watch them face his former club Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Monday evening.
Balotelli also admitted that just 18 months back in Milan had convinced him he should return to the Premier League. He added: “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. English football is generally better. English football is beautiful.”
“To play here for Liverpool excites me, but if you’re an opponent it’s difficult. Liverpool are one of the best teams here in England. The football is very good here. It’s a great team with young players, and that’s why I came here.”
