Balotelli close to completing Milan move

Mario Balotelli was heading to AC Milan's training ground this morning to complete his move from Manchester City after wild scenes greeted his arrival in Italy last night.

The 22-year-old had a medical yesterday but must still complete some formalities before he officially becomes a Milan player, but that did not stop fans turning out in their hundreds to greet him, with emotions boiling over as trouble erupted outside the restaurant where Balotelli dined with club vice president Adriano Galliani and coach Massimiliano Allegri last night.

Gazzetta dello Sport reported that one policeman was injured by a bottle as officers attempted to move the crowd away from the restaurant. The injury is not thought to be serious.
