AC Milan striker Marco Borriello has made an appeal to Inter hitman Mario Balotelli, telling the youngster he will be made to feel welcome there.
Despite winning a unique treble, Balotelli often endured a turbulent relationship with all factions of the Nerazzurri establishment. Squad exclusions and tension with fans and fellow team-mates were the story of his season.
But Borriello has said joining Milan will give Balotelli a new lease of life to start over and enjoy happy playing days.
"I can understand the fans, but I also understand him [Balotelli]. What he did against Barcelona wasn't nice, but you can understand this when the papers and your team-mates are against you," Borriello told GQ magazine.
"We would welcome him with open arms at Milan. We are a strong club and he would find team-mates ready to help him, not kick him up the backside," he said.
