Balotelli looks to have settled his difference with his mother

Liverpool star Mario Balotelli settles row with Ghanaian mother, attracts police attention
Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli looks to have
settled his long-standing misunderstanding with
his real Ghanaian mother and even visited her in
Manchester yesterday, drawing police attention.

The footballer who was born in Italy to Ghanaian
parents fell out with them claiming they abandoned
him as a child which led to years of a stand-off.

But they look to have settled their differences
and has been revealed that he has been regularly
visiting his Ghanaian parents who now lives in
Manchester.

Balotelli is even being investigated by police
over claims he threatened his mother’s neighbour
for taking pictures of his £240,000 Ferrari when
he visited his biological mum yesterday.

Police were called to a housing estate in the
Wythenshawe area of Manchester at 3pm yesterday,
when the 24-year-old was reportedly visiting his
mother Rose Barwuah.

The controversial Italian footballer parked his
Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and a number of residents
came out to take pictures before going back
indoors.

The woman was visiting her own mother at the time
and said the footballer left her ‘frightened and
speechless’ by the rant

‘Then when I came to the door he was getting
right near me and pointing in my face saying
“you took pictures of my car” and I kept
telling him “I didn’t, I didn’t”.

‘Then he said, “if you do anything with them,
I’ll come back, I’m warning you”, which to
me was a direct threat.

‘I don’t care who he is, I won’t be
threatened like that by anyone. He’s a big guy
and it was very frightening.’

The woman’s mother said: ‘When he was at City
he’d come round all the time and sit with us, so
for him to be so nasty is a shock.

‘We used to cook him eggs, bacon and tomato and
now he treats us like this. It’s not on.’

The incident came a day after Balotelli was caught
swapping shirts with Real Madrid defender Pepe at
half time during Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat in the
Champions League at Anfield -

Other neighbours said that Balotellihad always
been friendly towards them while visiting his
mother.

Brian Robinson, 76, said: ‘I’ve had my
photograph taken with him and he’s always been
pretty good. He likes to have a laugh and a joke
with us.

‘I guess he could get peeved with people
pestering him for autographs. But he’s always
been OK with me.’

Hayley Ashton, 28, saw the striker leaving his
mother’s house on Thursday. She said: ‘I
didn’t see him arguing with anybody.’

Pictures of the car on the road were taken by
someone not involved in the incident.

Liverpool Football Club said they would not be
commenting until all the facts had been
established.

MailOnline has requested a comment from the
footballer’s representatives.

The incident came a day after Balotelli was caught
swapping shirts with Real Madrid defender Pepe at
half time during Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat in the
Champions League at Anfield – prompting claims
he was not fully committed to the team’s cause.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers admitted he
would ‘deal with’ the £16million signing from
AC Milan.

He has been caught up in controversy in the past
and in October 2013 it was reported that he had to
flee his £3million mansion after fireworks were
let off in his bathroom.

The same month he wore a T-shirt saying ‘Why
Always Me?’ after scoring against Manchester
United in response to adverse media attention.

Balotelli was born in Sicily to immigrants from
Ghana. But his parents gave him up for adoption
aged two as he had a life-threatening intestinal
condition made worse by their impoverished
conditions.

She later developed a relationship with her son
and moved to Manchester in 2011 to be nearer him.
She still lives in the city even though he left
Manchester City for AC Milan in 2013 and now plays
for Liverpool.
