AC Milan legend Cesare Maldini says Mario Balotelli should be "left in peace".

Balotelli is on-loan at Milan from Liverpool.

“I hope Mario can do well in a Milan shirt," Maldini, who made over 400 appearances for Milan, and whose son Paolo played 902 times, told Palermo24.

“The problem is that we talk about him too much, whether that's good or bad things. We should be left in peace, to calmly get on with his new adventure at Milan."
