Mario Balotelli has arrived in Italy to join AC Milan after Manchester City agreed a £22m deal with the Rossoneri.
Here, MEN Sport charts how the enigmatic 22-year-old’s time at the Etihad came to an end through quotes from those closest to him.
29/1/2013 : Boss Roberto Mancini after the QPR game: “We are also so sad because Mario was an important player for us. He is a fantastic player but I think for him this could an important chance to go back to Italy and play for a**ther top club like Milan. I hope he can continue to improve because he can become one of the world’s best players.For me, Mario was like a**ther of my children.”
28/1 : David Platt ahead of the QPR game: “I saw that speculation yesterday but I’ve **t heard anything. As far as we are concerned I think he is still a Manchester City player. I don’t think there is anything is going to happen.”
25/1 : Mancini ahead of the Stoke FA Cup game: “It is **t true, Mario stays here. We didn’t have any requests about Mario or other players.”
24/1 : AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi qouted in Corriere dello Sport: “Kaka and Balotelli? Neither of the two. It’s **t possible in this day and age to play Mo**poly. Galliani remains optimistic but the tough language of accounting keeps him from doing his work.”
11/1 : Mancini on the speculation at a press conference ahead of the Arsenal game: “**, it is **t true. I am very, very happy (with Mario).”
8/1 : Berlusconi talking at the Ballon d’Or ceremony: “The name of Balotelli never came into my thoughts, he is a rotten apple and could infect every group where he goes, even Milan.”
6/1 : City striker Carlos Tevez: “Mario has been doing okay. He has been working and trying to improve, and you can always improve as a player. That’s what he did coming back from illness and injury, and it’s what he’s been trying to do. I try to help him. I talk to him personally, on and off the pitch. I talked to him just before a free-kick we were about to take, and I let him take it so he could improve his confidence, so things can get better and better for him.”
4/1 : Mancini after the training ground bust-up: “I will give him a**ther 100 chances if possible, if I think he can change. I am here for this. Sometimes I am upset with him because he doesn’t everything for this, but I give him a**ther chance, sure. He is 22 and he can do a mistake.”

21/12 : On Mario accepting a club fine: “This is an old situation and it is **rmal when someone does a mistake he should take his responsibilities and Mario did this. It’s **rmal.”
11/12 : Mancini on Mario after the derby defeat: “I love Mario but it is important for him to start to think about his job. He has everything to play well but he can’t continue to play like today. We wanted more from him. When you have a player that has Mario’s quality, you can**t understand why he continues to throw it out of the window. It is incredible. I have seen players in my life with fantastic quality. But in the end, they did **thing. I don’t want Mario to finish like these players. It would be bad for him.”
30/11 : Gareth Barry after Mario scored at Wigan: “He scored some massive goals last season. If he can repeat that again this season, it will be good for us.”
20/11 : Mancini on how Mario can be as good as Messi: “Mario, outside the pitch, is a fantastic guy. Sometimes he doesn’t understand which is your job, and how his job is important for his life, but I hope for him that he can understand this quickly. **w he is 22 but life can go quickly and I hope he can improve everything because as a player he could be like Cristia** and Messi.”
16/11 : Mancini after dropping Balotelli for the Spurs game because of poor attitude in training: “Mario didn’t play because it was my choice. I have 20 players and if there are some players that don’t work well, they don’t deserve to play. There were other players that worked better than Mario and they deserve to go on the bench.”
Were City right to sell Balotelli? Have your say.
