AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli has no plans to return to Liverpool.

Balotelli is on a season-long loan with Milan, though new Reds boss Jurgen Klopp isn't ruling out a return.

However, Tuttosport says Balotelli doesn't wish to return to Merseyside.

The striker has told friends he wants to stay in Italy with Milan.

The Rossoneri are prepared to discuss a permanent deal with Liverpool later in the season.
