In August 2014, Balotelli joined Liverpool for a £16 million transfer fee to replace the outgoing Luis Suárez.
In a match against Real Madrid, Balotelli was criticised by manager Brendan Rodgers for swapping shirts with opponent Pepe at half time, saying, "It's something that doesn't happen here and shouldn't happen here."
On 18 December 2014, Balotelli was suspended for one match and fined £25,000 for posting an image on social media which appeared to contain anti-Semitic and racist references.
He scored just 4 goals in 28 appearances and at season's end and was adjudged by many to be among the worst signings of the season.
What he left for Liverpool was:
£1m per Premier League appearance
£16m per Premier League goal

When I remember we once had Borini, Downing, Benteke, Carroll, Jovanovic, Poulsen, Spearing, Ngog, Lambert, Koncheski, Markovic, Aspas, Aquilani, Shelvey, Aly Cissokho, I realize how much we Liverpool fans had gone through and how much we’ve grown as a club. We really have direction under Jurgen and that’s why I don’t panic about lack of transfer activities this summer.
Wasn’t comparing
