Mário Balotelli was announced on Monday as a reinforcement of AC Monza of the Italian second division. The contract is only until the end of the season, then you will see it soon. The 30-year-old forward has been out of action since Brescia terminated his contract late last season following disapproving behavior from the player.
“I hit her head a lot and told her it really was her last chance. I like him a lot. He is a player who, with his technical and physical ability, has to do much more. He showed excellent qualities. He’s only 30, “said Adriano Galliani.
The former Milan CEO and now Monza strongman also revealed that Silvio Berlusconi “is excited” to sign, that the player accepted low salary conditions and that the businessman Mino Raiola did not even charge a commission for the transfer.
AC Monza is a mini AC Milan that dreams of reaching Serie A. The city club located about 20 kilometers northeast of Milan, better known for hosting F1 racing cars than football stars, took on a new life and ambition when in 2018 it was bought by Silvio Berlusconi.
Former Italian Prime Minister (he served three terms from 1994 to 2011) who owned Milan and won five Champions Leagues and eight scudettosBetween 1986 and 2017, he invested in the small Serie C club of Calcium with the aim of reaching Serie A and making history. The Lombardy emblem has never been in the Italian first division since it was formed in 1912 (108 years).
For now he is in eighth place in the Italian Serie B and has the Portuguese Dany Mota.
Mario Balotelli was “on the verge” of reaching an agreement with Genoa in September, but not even the intervention of his coach (Mino Raiola) allowed him to reach an agreement to play for Calcio. Notoriety haunts the Italian international, who for years has allowed off-field eccentricities to hamper sporting talent.
It could be a question of personality, but the way of being in football made it problematic. A risk for those who hire you. Before Genoa seemed interested, the player even negotiated with Calcio Como, a Serie C club from Calcio (third division). Nobody seemed to believe that he was going to the third division, but with so much closed door the possibilities were less and less. And now, after three months, the Italian, who once won a Champions League with José Mourinho at Inter, has agreed to relaunch his career at AC Monza.
Abandoned by his parents at birth, in a hospital in Palermo (Sicily), Mario had serious health problems and they only abandoned him when he was adopted by the Balotelli family. A host family that became yours for life. Despite his difficult childhood, his parents let him play soccer.
He started at AC Lumezzane at age 11 and at 15 he was playing for the majors in the third division of the Italian league. awakening the interest of Inter Milan, who reached the age of 16. He also played for Manchester City, AC Milan, Liverpool, Nice and Brescia.
