Manchester City set for Mario Balotelli reunion
MANCHESTER CITY could be given a stark reminder of their past as they will be reunited with former striker Mario Balotelli in a pre-season tournament.
The Citizens have confirmed they will be involved in the four-team Audi Cup tournament in Munich in July and August which also features AC Milan.
Balotelli has enjoyed a renaissance at Milan, hitting nine goals in Serie A since his £19m January move.
They could also come face-to-face again with Balotelli's team-mate Nigel de Jong as well as Jerome Boateng who plays for Bayern Munich.
City's chief commercial and operating officer Tom Glick said: "We are delighted to have been invited to take part in the Audi Cup and to be competing with some of the best teams in the world.
"This tournament forms a significant part of our pre-season preparations and we are very much looking forward to it."
