BALOTELLI
Mario Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola has blasted Jurgen
Klopp's treatment of the former Liverpool striker, after the Italy
international signed for Nice this week.
Balotelli, 26, signed a one-year deal at the Allianz Riviera
on Wednesday after being allowed to leave Liverpool on a free transfer.
The forward struggled on loan at former club AC Milan last
season having made little impact at Liverpool in the previous campaign, but
Raiola was critical of the way Klopp handled Balotelli's departure.
"For me, he didn't take into account that he was
talking to a human being," Raiola said, in quotes published Saturday on
the Gazzetta dello Sport website.
"Mario has been exemplary, he never complained about
training alone. To say that it was wrong of Klopp would be an understatement,
he was a piece of shit about it."
The outspoken Raiola, who is also the agent of Manchester
United midfielder Paul Pogba, supported Balotelli's earlier assertion that Nice
had not taken a risk in signing the striker.
"It's a gamble that'd I'd try for
sure," he said, predicting that Balotelli would score 20 goals in Ligue 1
this season should he remain fit.
