Balotelli has just officially changed its clubs. He moved to Milan for a fee of 20 million euros. In his new club, the 22-year-old striker was awarded a contract duration of four and a half years.
For two and a half years at City, Balotelli appeared in 80 games in all competitions. He donated a total of 30 goals for the club, based at the Etihad Stadium.
"Being in the City is an important part of my life and career. I need to grow as a player and as a person and it was a very good experience for me," I like Balotelli told City's official website.
Without strengthened Balotelli, City have to fight hard to retain the league title. They are still seven points behind neighbors Manchester United.
"I really hope City can win the league again this year and beat United. I think there are great players at the club and a great manager as well," said Balotelli.
"The club will be very successful in the future, and it makes me happy," he said.
