The Genoa players have been enjoying Mario Balotelli’s company around the training ground and full-back Stefano Sabelli has joked with the former Italy international by bringing back a new version of his famous ‘why always me’ t-shirt.

Balotelli posted a video to his Instagram story on Wednesday morning from the canteen at Genoa’s training ground, showing Sabelli in a t-shirt with the Italian translation of ‘why always me’ written across it.

Balotelli revealed an undershirt with that message after scoring the opener in a memorable 6-1 victory over Manchester United while he was still based in the Premier League with Manchester City.

Balotelli background 

The 34-year-old officially signed for Genoa as a free agent last Monday. He had been without a club since the end of the 2023-24 season, when he had represented Adana Demirspor in the Turkish Super Lig.

The former Italy international has recently made his Serie A bow with the Grifone, coming on as a late substitute in the 1-0 victory away against Parma on Monday evening.
