Balotelli reveals 'love-hate' relationship with Mourinho
Table of Contents
Inter Milan forward Mario Balotelli has revealed that he had "a love-hate relationship" with former coach José Mourinho.
The teenager had a tempestuous relationship with the Special One and there were claims that if Mourinho didn't leave this summer then he would instead.
"So much was said about this and when you get two people with a similarly strong personality, they tend to clash.
"There were some arguments, but nothing so serious, these are things that happen.
"When I watch myself on television sometimes I don’t even recognise it as me. I’m a good person with healthy principles, but I am also young and like to have fun.
"What if Mourinho called me to Real Madrid? No, I prefer the sun in Naples."
This interview with the Napoli radio station fuelled reports that Balotelli could join the San Paolo side.
He added: "Napoli is fantastic and the warmth of the people is extraordinary.
"The fans ask me to come and play here, I reply that Napoli is marvellous and the crowd remarkable, but football is another matter.
"I don’t know where I’ll be playing next season."
