Balotelli to buy Pato's house

I HEAR that Mario is planning to move into Brazilian striker Pato's luxury home in Milan.

Pato has moved back to Brazil in a £12million deal from Milan to Corinthians.

And the AC hierarchy have persuaded Mario to buy his house - which has a price guide of around £2million.

Mario has agreed but has not agreed to request to live a quieter life than he did in Manchester.

His brother Enock is set to join him there and Mario will soon be out on the town with him and his old pals from his Inter days.

He does not plan to settle down with Raffaella Fico, the model who gave birth to his baby girl, Pia.

I would think the Milan fans, who have greeted the signing of Mario as if it were Messi or Ronaldo who was joining the club, will soon let him know if he does not knuckle down in training and matches. They will want to see him deliver the fireworks on the pitch - not off it.
