MILAN – Mario Balotelli spoke to the press after his medical at the Madonnina Clini in Milan about his return to the rossoneri. Balotelli is expected to make his way to Casa Milan at 1.30pm this afternoon.

He said: “I am happy to be back. I don’t have much to say because I just need to train and prove myself. Physically I am fit but I need to train with the squad. I am very motivated but I need to work hard and talk less. I always hoped I would return to Milan, the club hold a special place in my heart. Do I want to end my career here? I just want to get back to work and have a good season, I have to work and that is it.”
