After losing Luis Suarez to Barcelona this summer, Liverpool have been desperate to land a quality striker – and it looks like they’re about to in Mario Balotelli.

A £16million fee has been agreed with AC Milan for his signature, but before the transfer is even complete, the Reds are keen to show him off.

Indeed, this leaked picture on Twitter shows the club’s official shop printing Balotelli shirts today on Merseyside, with a guess at his apparent new squad number.

It’s a bold move, and it’s not as if Liverpool are not used to signing big name players, but it seems they still couldn’t help themselves. Fans are snapping up the shirts, too.

Let’s hope that they kept the receipt just in case.
