ROME: Italian striker Mario Balotelli said Wednesday that he has joined AC Milan in an attempt to revive his career after a roller-coaster spell with English champions Manchester City.

“I didn't start the season very well with City so I am coming to Milan to revive myself and to do well,” said ex-Inter Milan star Balotelli, who has completed a return to Serie A in a deal said to be worth around $30 million.

“I have wanted to play for Milan for a long time, but I was with other teams. When this chance came along I grabbed it. I hope Milan can become a big club again.”
