Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli will remain at the club next season, according to his agent Mino Raiola.
The Italy international’s first season after a £16million move from AC Milan was a flop with just four goals – only one of which came in the Barclays Premier League – and he was top of a list of names the club reportedly wanted to offload this summer.
