Italian striker Mario Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola is adamant that the controversial footballer cannot afford another flop and if he does then major clubs would turn their back on him for good.

Balotelli made the headlines for the wrong reasons in his two-and-a-half years stint at Manchester City where the striker was often photographed in training ground bust-ups.

Balotelli fell out with then Etihad boss Roberto Mancini and off the field was involved in embarrassing incidents, including letting off fireworks from the bathroom of his luxury mansion, which caused 2,00,000 pounds worth of damage, The Daily Star reported.

Balotelli, who hardly set the world on fire in his spell at AC Milan, has been given another chance at Liverpool and Raiola is convinced that the striker is now drinking in the last chance.

 

Raiola said that at the highest level, this is Balotelli's last chance, adding that it is either all or nothing. He said that Balotelli is 24, and no longer has the excuse of age. Now, he added that it is up to the Italian.

Raiola said that another flop is not recommended for Balotelli.
