The attacker Mario Balotelli, experiencing a renaissance, could have not joined the "Nice" team.
The president of the French club, Jean-Pierre Rivere, revealed to journalists the scandalous actions of his agent Mino Raiola before signing the contract.
The deal that took place in the last hours of the transfer window started with a conversation between Balotelli's representative and the head of the "Nice" team, as the player himself had to arrive a bit later due to a delayed flight.
"Mino explained to me all possible reasons why I should give up the opportunity to acquire Mario. But when the attacker arrived, the agent told him directly: "Now the president knows everything about you,"
"He brought Balotelli to our club, but I don’t think he was very happy about it," - said the club president about Raiola.
In the first two "Ligue 1" matches, the 26-year-old Italian scored a total of 4 goals.
