Liverpool waiting to confirm Mario Balotelli move as Klopp’s clear-out continues

Liverpool's clear-out of the deadwood had begun earlier today.

Liverpool are awaiting the final paperwork on Mario Balotelli's transfer to Nice before they can draw a line under the Italian's miserable spell at Anfield.

The 26-year-old has been in talks with the French club for the last couple of days and Press Association Sport understands the deal has been completed and all that is left is for the Merseysiders to receive the formal documentation.
