TRANSFER Balls: Having been linked with amove to Arsenal, is AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli on his way to…Liverpool?

Italian site MediaSet says Liverpool have made a £17.5m bid for former Manchester City striker. No sources are quoted in the story. But it’s enough for the Star to run with it:

The Liverpool Echo amplifies the ‘news’:

At no point do the media experts repeat what Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manger, said:

Said Rodgers:

“I can categorically tell you Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool”

And MadiaSet is the outfit that said Arsenal were in for Balotelli.  To which Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger replied:

“We cannot believe absolutely everything that is on the internet or in the papers. Sometimes it is created by agents or by the press who need news. But in this case, it’s not true.”

Such are the facts…
