AC Milan VP dreams of signing Balotelli

AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani says it is his dream to bring Mario Balotelli to the Serie A club.

Balotelli, who joined Manchester City little over a year ago, has long been linked with a move to AC Milan - the club he supported growing up.

Galliani says, ''Balotelli is my great passion because he is a great player. AC Milan? Who knows. For now it remains a passion ... Balotelli is a dream. I think about that nearly all the time, as does the president (Silvio) Berlusconi, it's a thought we all have in our club.''

Balotelli spent three controversial years at Inter Milan. He came under heavy criticism during his time there when he donned a Milan shirt on a television show.

Balotelli scored two goals Sunday to help fire City to a 6-1 victory at fierce rivals Manchester United in the Premier League.
