Liverpool outcast, Mario Balotelli, is happy to be back at AC Milan after passing a medical ahead of rejoining the Serie A side.

Both clubs have yet to announce the financial cost of the deal, which will see the Italy international represent the San Siro side for the 2015/16 campaign.

A statement from Milan read: “Mario Balotelli has completed his medical. He is expected to arrive to Casa Milan at 13:30.”

AC Milan have thrown Balotelli a lifeline, with the 25-year-old having scored just four goals in his 29 appearances for the Reds since his £16million transfer from the Rossoneri last summer.

Balotelli, left out of Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia, is aware of how important this move is to revive his career.

His fate at Anfield was sealed with the arrival of Christian Benteke and other attacking options.

“I’m happy to have returned,” Balotelli said on Milan’s website. “I have little to say, just that I’m looking forward to train and prove my worth.
