Mario Balotelli has delivered a message to Liverpool supporters claiming that he is "loading" for next season.
The Italian striker has failed to make a significant impact since his £16m summer move from AC Milan as he has scored just four goals in all competitions.
There have been suggestions that the 24-year-old will be shown the exit door at Anfield this summer, but the player's recent Instagram post hints otherwise.
Balotelli uploaded a picture of himself dressed in his Liverpool kit with his hands in shackles, and added the caption: "Thanks to Liverpool fans for this year .... I m loading for next season. #beast"
The striker was not named in the squad for Liverpool's final game of the Premier League season, which ended in a 6-1 defeat to Stoke City.
