According to the Mirror, Ac Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has taken a shot at former striker Mario Balotelli claiming that he is happy that the ‘rotten egg’ is no longer in the Rossoneri dressing room.
The Italian striker left Italy in August, joining Liverpool in a £16 million deal, following 30 goals in 54 games for the Italian club.
Berlusconi, however, claims the player was signed against his wishes and that he is glad to see him back in the Premier League.
The former Italian Prime Minister told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “I remember he was bought against my advice.
“[Now] We have many champions: [Jeremy] Menez, [Keisuke] Honda, [Stephan] El Shaarawy, [Fernando] Torres, [Nigel] De Jong.
“The base is there. And we no longer have a rotten apple in the dressing room.”
Since arriving at Anfield Balotelli has struggled to find his best form, scoring just once in eight games.
