Gary McAllister: 'Mario Balotelli could split Liverpool dressing room'

Former Liverpool midfielder Gary McAllister fears that the arrival of Mario Balotelli could disrupt the dressing room at Anfield.

Former Liverpool midfielder Gary McAllister has expressed his fear that Mario Balotelli could disrupt the club's dressing room.

The controversial forward is on the verge of completing a £16m move to Anfield from Serie A side AC Milan.

McAllister has admitted that he is concerned about the impact that the former Manchester City man could have on the harmony at the Merseyside club.

"It will split everyone," he told talkSPORT. "He's got great ability, but Liverpool are very much together under Brendan Rodgers and it doesn't take a lot to split a dressing room. And that's my only fear.

"Look at his moves – he's had great opportunities at big clubs and that fee keeps dropping and dropping. It's not a great deal of money in today's game, but it will split a lot of people."

The Italy international joined the Rossoneri from City in 2013.
