There are shock reports Milan are in negotiations to take Mario Balotelli back from Liverpool.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic is open to the idea and met with SuperMario in Florence ahead of Sunday night’s Serie A opener against Fiorentina.

It would only be a loan deal free of charge and the Rossoneri could even ask Liverpool to pay a portion of his wages.

Mihajlovic already worked with Balotelli when he was assistant manager to Roberto Mancini at Inter.

Milan sold Balotelli to Liverpool a year ago for £16m, but he struggled to make an impact and has been told he has no place in the current squad.

Balo has been linked with Sampdoria, Bologna, Fiorentina and even Lazio if they qualify for the Champions League, while Sevilla are thought to be interested in Spain.

A return to Milan would be a huge shock, especially as he did not leave on good terms with President Silvio Berlusconi.

The patron referred to him as “a bad apple” and he was sold partly due to off the field incidents.

He scored 30 goals in 54 competitive games for the Rossoneri, providing 12 assists. He also received 20 bookings and a red card.

On the other hand, Balotelli always confessed to being a Milan supporter – even when playing for their arch-rivals Inter.

He would also relish a return to Italy to be closer to his family following the death of his adoptive father.

Milan are finding it difficult to prise Zlatan Ibrahimovic away from Paris Saint-Germain, so Balo could fill the gap until the Swede's contract expires next summer.
