Balotelli hit by £400k home repair bill rocket after infamous blaze caused by firework
Posted Wednesday, November 16, 2011 by Dailymail
Mario Balotelli faces a whopping £400,000 bill for the repair of his bathroom after the infamous firework incident at his £3million rented home.
Manchester City's eccentric striker has had a rocket from his landlord, who wants Balotelli to pay himself for the damages rather than go through insurance.
Balotelli's four-bedroom house suffered smoke damage and the bathroom was gutted in the fire, caused by a friend letting off the firework in the early hours on the eve of City's top-of-the-table derby clash at Old Trafford last month. Ironically, Balotelli sparkled in the match, scoring twice in a 6-1 win.
