Mino Raiola has said that his client Mario Balotelli will make a return to the Premier League at some point in the future and stood by his critical comments of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Raiola said in the Daily Mail: "France needs him, like they needed Zlatan [Ibrahimovic]. He is good for the league but he will absolutely return to the Premier League."
Balotelli left Liverpool for French side Nice on a free transfer in the summer transfer window after a disappointing spell on Merseyside.
Klopp did not include the forward in any of Liverpool's nine friendlies over the summer and was left behind to train with the under-23 side as the first team travelled to the United States for a preseason tour.
Raiola then publicly criticised Klopp a few days after Balotelli's move to Ligue 1 and stands by what he said.
"Mario and Jurgen Klopp never had a chance because Klopp never gave him a chance," Raiola said. "I said Klopp acted like a piece of sh-- towards him and he can't deny he made Mario an outcast.
"I had experience with Klopp at Dortmund. He can't tell people that he treated Mario like a human being at Liverpool.
"If you want to sell him it's up to you but he is still a Liverpool player and, while he is, show him respect. He needed 90 minutes in friendlies but he trained outside the first team. What did he do wrong in the last two years?
"Mario said he made a mistake joining Liverpool, I don't regret choosing Liverpool although I'm not sure Brendan Rodgers really wanted him."
Raiola believes a productive spell in France could see Balotelli as an attractive proposition for Premier League managers next season after only signing a one-year deal with Nice.
He added: "Italy is unliveable for him because of the attention he gets. If he proves he can become stable at Nice and score goals then imagine how attractive he would be to a Premier League manager next summer as a free agent.
"What would a real manager rather do? Gamble £100 million on a striker or take Balotelli because no-one can tell me he is not a world-class talent."
