Nice striker Mario Balotelli is shocked by the demise of AC Milan this season.

Indeed, Balotelli has been so taken aback that he admits he wouldn't consider a return should the Rossoneri make him an offer.

The Italy international said, "I love Milan, but I have to be honest: it's in a very complicated situation, I would never go to Milan and make people think they are the cause of the problem.

"I could not go there to be a savior and then end up becoming a problem."

Balotelli admits he hoped to visit some of the players this week.

"I wanted to go to say hello to the team, I heard from (Ignazio) Abate, but a manager finally said no because they're in ritiro.

"I'm sorry because I would have liked it."
