Milan snapped Balotelli up from Manchester City in January 2013 for a fee of €20m.

However, just 18 months later they are eyeing shipping the controversial striker out of the San Siro exit door.

Liverpool are thought to favour an initial loan with purchase option for Balotelli, while Milan want an outright sale of the player.
