In the recent past, Balotelli has been at the center of several controversies during his career, with the forward hitting the headlines days after joining Man City in 2010.

The forward crashed his Audi R8 en route to the club's training ground and was found to be carrying £5,000 (Ksh 956,274.51) in cash at the time of the accident.

At the time, when the police asked him why he had such a huge cash boon, he said: “Because I am rich.”
