Mario Balotelli leaves Liverpool to join French club Nice on a free transfer.
Mario Balotelli has completed a free transfer from Liverpool to Nice, ending an underwhelming two-year spell at Anfield.
The Italian striker spent most of Tuesday on the south coast of France where he agreed to a permanent move away from Liverpool.
Palermo had also expressed an interest in Balotelli who has not played for Liverpool since April 2015, having moved to Anfield the previous summer.
The 26-year-old striker has made 28 appearances, scoring four goals, since being signed by former Red boss Brendan Rodgers from AC Milan for £16m in 2014.
Balotelli spent time on loan with Italian side AC Milan last season, scoring one goal in 20 games in Serie A.
Nice came fourth in Ligue 1 last season to qualify for the Europa League.
