Liverpool have sealed a €20m agreement with AC Milan for striker Mario Balotelli, but the player must still agree personal terms with the English club.
Balotelli admitted as he arrived for training with Milan today that he is likely leaving the Italian giants, commenting: "Today will be my last day in Milanello."
And as the Italy international is put through his paces with his Milan team-mates, his agent Mino Raiola is hard at work thrashing out an agreement with Liverpool.
According to Italian sports daily Gazzetta dello Sport, Balotelli wants a five-year contract worth €6m per year net in order to sign on the dotted line at Anfield.
The ball is now in Liverpool's court to meet Balotelli's demands and snap up the former Manchester City striker.

However, Balotelli has come under fire for his inconsistent displays, while his performances at the World Cup with Italy were harshly criticised.
