Mario Balotelli’s agent Mino Raiola has admitted that the striker’s move to Liverpool will be his final chance to play for a big club.

The Italy striker will reportedly lose £2m a year if he steps out of line when he completes his £16m transfer to Liverpool from AC Milan.

The 24-year-old was at Liverpool’s training base in Melwood on Friday evening where he underwent a medical before holding face-to-face talks with Reds boss Brendan Rodgers, who was the only Premier League boss to show an interest in signing the player.

“Liverpool has always been the only team with which I dealt in England for Mario. Mario will not have a different contract other players of Liverpool, he must comply with the code of conduct of the club as everyone,” Raiola told French newspaper Le10Sport.

“His last chance? At the highest level, yes. It’s all or nothing. Mario is 24 years-old. He no longer has the excuse of age.

“We see that it is not ready to be a leader. In Liverpool, it can be an important element without being asked to be a leader. With Gerrard, Mario will be protected and will be at his best. Mario needs to remove that pressure, he should feel free to score goals and that’s all,” the agent added.
