'Balotelli will leave Milan'

By Football Italia staff

Silvio Berlusconi confirmed Mario Balotelli, Alex, Philippe Mexes and Kevin-Prince Boateng will leave Milan this summer.

The President spoke to Qui Studio a Voi Stadio this evening and discussed the potential take-over by a Chinese group.

He also commented on the imminent departures.

“Many will be leaving because players like Alex, Mexes, Boateng and Balotelli are at the end of their contracts.”

Of these players, Balotelli is the only one who is on loan and will therefore be returned to Liverpool.

It had already been reported that talks to extend his loan or buy him outright had been abandoned over the last few days.

Boateng only arrived in January from Schalke 04, but will not have his contract extended.

Mexes had seen his contract expire last summer only to be offered another one several weeks later.
