Mario Balotelli completes move to Kevin Prince-Boateng's AC Monza

Published on: 07 December 2020

Mario Balotelli has completed a move to Italian Serie B side A.C Monza on Monday.

The 30-year-old Italian, who has been without a club since leaving Brescia this summer, trained with Serie D side Franciacorta in November.

Monza have signed the forward until June 2021.

“Mario Balotelli comes to reinforce Monza and has signed a contract until June 30, 2021,” the club wrote in a statement.

“[After a stint at Manchester City] Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani brought him back to Italy in January 2013, and he helped bring Milan to the Champions League by scoring 12 goals in Serie A.

“After a year and a half at the Rossoneri, with 26 goals in the League, he had a new prestigious experience in England with Liverpool. In January 2016, he returned to Milan, where he was also coached by Christian Brocchi, who now finds himself at Monza together with former Milan teammate Kevin-Prince Boateng.

“Balotelli is one of only seven footballers who from January 1, 2000, has scored at least 20 goals in three of the top five European Leagues. Welcome Mario!”

Balotelli has reunited with former AC Milan teammate Kevin-Prince Boateng, who joined the club at the start of the season.

The duo were influential for Milan as they clinched the Serie A in the 2012-13 season.

Balotelli also played for Inter and AC Milan.

He won the Champions League, three Serie A titles, the Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup with Inter, for whom he scored 28 goals in 86 games.
