Mario Balotelli will reportedly return to Liverpool when his season-long loan spell at AC Milan ends.
Italian outlet Calciomercato claim Milan don't want to keep the striker because he has scored just twice in 10 appearances since going back to Italy last summer.
Liverpool are said to have told Milan they can buy Balotelli for £5.5million but even that fee is considered too high by Rossoneri chiefs.
