"Mario Balotelli has revealed that before joining AC Milan, he was actually meant to go to Juventus, opting for the Rossoneri in the end. Balotelli played for Milan in two different spells: first for one and a half seasons between 2012 and 2014, then the 2016-17 season on loan. The former was undoubtedly the more successful time with the club, as it ultimately earned him the move back to the Premier League and Liverpool."
"Adriano Galliani worked some of his usual magic and was able to get the deal over the line. "In theory, I was supposed to go to Juventus, but with Mino Raiola we made a quick trip to Milan and in the end, I went to AC Milan. However, I left Manchester to return to Italy and I went to Turin to join Juventus," he stated."
