Liverpool cut losses as Mario Balotelli joins Nice on free transfer

Liverpool misfit Mario Balotelli's miserable spell at Anfield is finally over after he completed a move to Nice.

The Ligue 1 side have got the Italy international, who scored just four goals in 28 appearances, for free but the Reds did not have to pay off the 26-year-old, which was a distinct possibility for a time as numerous European clubs turned down the chance to sign the striker.
