Mario Balotelli is undergoing a medical at AC Milan ahead of a season-long loan move just a year after his disastrous £16m switch to Liverpool.
The Italian was always a "calculated risk" from Liverpool, with manager Brendan Rodgers openly admitting that he was never his first-choice striker target.
Balotelli scored just one goal in 16 Barclays Premier League appearances for Liverpool last season and has not even made the bench in the opening three games of this campaign.
He was left out of Liverpool's pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia and has been training away from the first team in recent weeks.
Liverpool signed three forwards over the summer in Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino and Danny Ings, while Divock Origi has arrived at Anfield after a year on loan at Lille.
Manager Brendan Rodgers refused to be drawn on Balotelli's future after the goalless draw against Arsenal when asked whether the Italian was on the verge of returning to AC Milan.
