Italian striker Mario Balotelli has revealed he would return to play for former club Manchester City for free.
The 27-year-old has scored 16 goals in 21 games in his second season at Ligue 1 side Nice, but hankers for big trophies again.
“My aim is to return to a big club to win something important again,” Balotelli told Thursday’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’d like to get back to having a strong squad behind me. I want to play in the Champions League and win something.”
Balotelli won six trophies with Inter Milan including the Champions League before moving to Manchester City in 2010, followed by two spells at AC Milan either side of an unsuccessful stint at Liverpool.
He insisted he has put his wilder days behind him and surrounded by his family was enjoying football as never before.
“It’s a special season, it should always be like that. I have no pressure, I work well but I have been working well since my time at Liverpool but goals always make the difference.
