FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio hopes AC Milan can "rebuild" the career of Mario Balotelli.

The Liverpool striker is joining Milan on a season-long loan.

“He's a lad who seems to have forgotten the value of suffering, of sacrifice," Tavecchio told Mediaset.

“He had everything too soon because of his talent. He's lost his way, and now it's up to him to find it again, now that he's back at Milan and with the help of Milan.

“If the Rossoneri can rebuild Balotelli, then he'll also be an asset for all of Italian football."
