AC Milan star Balotelli buys a pet pig

The Italy striker revealed the newest addition to his family to his 1.1 million Twitter followers, a two-month old micro pig, but said he is unsure of the animal's sex BET=AC MilanMIL£16.7DRAW£38PSVPSV£50PaddyPower For some players, purchasing Louis Vuitton bags help fill the void in their lavishly luxurious footballing lifestyles, but for AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli - always one to stand out from the crowd - it is a pet pig. Balotelli, who is frequently in the headlines for some bizarre incidents off the field, revealed his latest addition to the family is a two-month old micro pig named 'Super'. "Finally my little pig arrived! She is only 2 month old! Is a she but i called her SUPER! ;-)" he said on Twitter. The 22-year-old, who famously made a pig's-ear of attempting to put his Manchester City bib on during his spell in the Premier League, was also struggling to detect what the animal's sex was. He added: "Actually can't find the willy so i think is a she ahahahaha but maybe a he! Ahahah". It is not the first time footballers' pets have been in the news this year as Isco's dog Messi was also a hot topic before the playmaker's move to Real Madrid from Malaga.
