Mario Balotelli to sign a more or less discriminating contract with AC Milan-Italy, no more causing troubles, causing fireworks (setting fire to his house after letting off fireworks in his bathroom) and also to refrain from smoking and exessive drinking.
Mario Balotelli will have a good behaviour clause inserted into his contract with AC Milan, banning him from extravagant haircuts, clothing and committing him to a healthy and decent lifestyle.
The chief executive of AC Milan football club, Adriano Galliani, based the clause on regulations which are applied to people who serve in the Italian Air force.
The 25-year-old, Mario Kwabena Bawuah Balotelli, (whose biological parents hail from Konongo in the Ashanti Region of Ghana) is repeatedly criticised for his poor work rate, which caused his return to Milan just one year after leaving for Liverpool, where he was dismissed.
He underwent a medical check in Milan on Tuesday ahead of an unexpected loan move, although the deal has not yet been officially (wrapped in a dry towel) confirmed.
The chief executive of AC Milan football will adopt measures to controll Balotelli from defaming or damaging the image of the club. His Twitter, Facebook and Instagram posts will be closely monitored. He will be banned from extravagant haircuts and clothing, from smoking and from visiting night clubs and must turn up on time from training. His drinking habit will also be limited.
Balotelli’s first spell at Milan was relatively successful and uneventful with a respectable scoring rate although there were some misdemeanors. He lost his temper in front of the cameras after his performance was criticised by Italian television pundits, telling his interviewers that they did not understand football and threw his microphone away.
He was also booked for making a vulgar gesture at Cagliari supporters, served two three-match bans and was caught smoking in the toilet of a train by a ticket collector.
However, these incidents paled in comparison to some of his antics at Manchester City earlier in his career, where he famously set fire to his house after letting off fireworks in his bathroom.
