'I left Liverpool after what Jurgen Klopp said, and I warned him he wouldn't see me again.
Mario Balotelli washed his hands of Jurgen Klopp after being displeased with what turned out to be his only chat with the then-Liverpool manager. Mario Balotelli washed his hands of Jurgen Klopp after being displeased with what turned out to be his only chat with the then-Liverpool manager. However, there were additional controversies, and City punished him two weeks' salary for his poor disciplinary record. He also got into fights with teammates, sometimes during matches. Off the pitch, firefighters were called to his Cheshire home, when fireworks were set off and a curtain caught fire. The move was unsuccessful, as he scored only four goals in his one full season at Anfield before returning to AC Milan on loan. When he returned to Merseyside in the summer of 2016, Jurgen Klopp was in charge, and the manager-player relationship was brief and sharp. According to Balotelli, the two had only one conversation before he was on the move again. In 2016, he told Sky Italia that Klopp did not know him. I spoke with him once, and he told me to go somewhere else, work hard, and then return. So I said them farewell and that we wouldn't see each other again. Instead of returning to Milan, Balotelli joined Ligue 1 club Nice. Reflecting on his time at Liverpool and AC Milan, he insisted he was blameless: "It wasn't anyone's fault." They were not great situations for me. I did not make any faults in my game or behavior, but I was hurt, which is beyond my control." Balotelli stated that the climate in the south of France was one of the reasons he chose Nice. He explained: "At first, I chose Nice for the climate; I wanted to stay in a relaxing but attractive environment where it is tough to get out of the wrong side of the bed. The other reason I chose Nice is that there is a good collection of young players. He joined Nice for Marseille in 2019, then played for Brescia, Monza, Demirspor, and Sion before going back to Demirspor, which finished 12th in the Super Lig last season.
