Mario Balotelli is reportedly selling off his fleet of supercars including a Lamborghini and a Ferrari after losing his emotion for it.
The former Manchester City and Liverpool player has a history of collecting high-priced cars just to wreck them.
The striker, who is presently playing in Switzerland for Sion, appears to have had enough and is cleaning out his garage.
The 32-year-old Balotelli is no stranger to controversy, either on or off the field.
A female passenger was hospitalized after he crashed his Bentley in the heart of Manchester while he was with City in 2012.
That happened two years after he was involved in an automobile accident on Chester Road, Hulme while driving an Audi A8.
While playing for Nice in France, Balotelli reportedly crashed his late agent Mino Raiola’s car into a pole.
The Italian striker’s terrible luck on the road continued at the start of 2020 when, at 6 am on New Year’s Day, he was involved in a car accident.
The silver Fiat 500 Abarth Balotelli was riding in this time slammed into the gate of a bakery in northern Brescia, with Balotelli in the passenger seat.
After spending a year in Turkey, the attacker transferred to Sion from Adana Demirspor in 2022.
Balotelli’s side are currently one spot from the bottom of the Switzerland league, and he has scored just six goals in 16 games this season.
He scored his first goal in five months this month, but he hasn’t added to it yet.
