Balotelli apologises to Milan CEO

Mario Balotell is reported to have personally rang up AC Milan's joint-CEO to apologise after he missed a penalty this weekend.

The on-loan Liverpool striker failed from the spot during the Rossoneri's 3-3 home draw with Frosinone and is still fighting to be given a permanent deal at the San Siro.

And Italian outlet MilanNews, cited by the Daily Express, say Balotelli phoned up Adriano Galliani in a bid to bolster his chances of earning a permanent transfer back to his boyhood club.

Galliani last month insisted Balotelli still has to prove his worth to the club in the final games of the season.
