LIVERPOOL WANT MARIO BALOTELLI TO SIGN A GOOD-CONDUCT CLAUSE TO SEAL £16MILLION ANFIELD MOVE

History: Balotelli has a history of weird and wacky incidents on and off the football pitch

The controversial striker is expected to seal a move to Anfield and has aleready said his goodbyes to AC Milan team-mates

Liverpool will only sign Mario Balotelli if the player agrees to conduct clauses in his contract.

A £16million fee was agreed with AC Milan for the striker yesterday, but sources close to Brendan Rodgers suggest there are still some “significant hurdles” to overcome in talks, even though the financial terms have already largely been agreed.

We understand only if the representatives agree to stringent clauses relating to Balotelli’s behaviour will Rodgers even meet the player, who flew into the city last night after saying his goodbyes to staff and players at Milan’s training ground.

A statement on the Milanese club’s website read: “Mario Balotelli drove out of Milanello at 13.30 after saying good-bye to his team-mates and the club’s press staff.”

However, only after the striker and his agent Mino Raiola accept tough proposals over his conduct will the deal progress.

MAN WITH NO LEGS BECOMES PUSH-UP RECORD HOLDER: DOUBLE AMPUTEE SOLDIER FROM GEORGIA MANAGES 36 PLANCHE PUSH-UPS IN 38.25 SECONDS

Corporal Temur Dadiani, 22, a double amputee military serviceman from Georgia sets the planche push-ups world record in Tbilisi on Sunday

 A double amputee soldier from Georgia, who was seriously injured while serving in Afghanistan, has set a world record for planche push-ups.

Corporal Temur Dadiani, 22, lost both his legs after standing on an improvised explosive device while serving in Helmand province in August 2011.

Cpl Dadiani has now successfully set a new world record by performing 36 planche push-ups in just 38.25 seconds.

 The 'amputee push-ups' record attempt was held at The Ministry of Defence of Georgia, in Tbilisi, yesterday.

A planche push-up is a difficult form of exercise which requires good strength and balance in order to hold yourself up using your arms only.

Cpl Dadiani was watched in his world record attempt by friends, colleagues, and Vakhtang Kapanadze, Chief of General Staff of the Georgian Armed Forces.

The soldier lost both his limbs while on patrol during the ISAF mission in Afghanistan. 

ISAF is a NATO-led security mission in Afghanistan established by the UN Security Council in 2001.

Its main purpose is to train the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and aid in rebuilding key government institutions, but has engaged in combat. 

All NATO member states contribute with troops to ISAF, as well as a number of non-member states including Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden and Finland. 

ENGLAND'S DAVID WEIR EASES TO GOLD IN T54 1500M COMMONWEALTH FINAL AT A WET HAMPDEN PARK TO COMPLETE FULL SET OF MEDALS

David Weir revived memories of his London 2012 heroics by racing to Commonwealth gold at Hampden Park.

The wheelchair racer, who famously claimed four golds at the Olympic Stadium, swept to another title in the T53/54 1500m, bursting clear in the final 300m to cruise home in three minutes 21.67 seconds.

The Weirwolf, as he became known at the Paralympics, produced a blistering turn of speed in the closing stages to win by almost one-and-a-half seconds.

 Victory: David Weir stormed to T54 1500m gold on a wet Hampden Park track in the Commonwealth Games

 Pride: Weir holds up his 1500m gold medal as he stands on top of the podium at Hampden Park

 Adored: David Weir acknowledges the Hampden Park crowd after claiming gold in the 1500m final

 Focused: Weir looks determined as he heads towards Commonwealth gold at Hampden Park

Victory, greeted by huge cheers from the packed crowd, earned the 35-year-old his first Commonwealth title.

He enjoyed a lighter year in 2013 after his Paralympic exploits, missing the IPC World Championships in Lyon, but insisted ahead of these Games he had 'the hunger back' as a result and it showed as he bided his time before launching his attack down the back straight.

Weir, who had to dodge the puddles from the earlier teeming rain, told BBC Sport: 'It's a nice feeling. It was in the back of mind after 2012, 'Should I carry on?' This is why I carried on.

'It feels like London, so many English flags.

'It's been great. I'm a little bit faster. I'd been worried about the weather all week as manufacturer of my gloves doesn't make them any more and they didn't work so well in the rain. I prayed I had a bit of grip for the sprint which I did.

'It's so much more difficult as you need contact on the rims, and you get spray from the wheels. That's why I was going wide as there were puddles. I won anyway.'

There was more medal success for England as 18-year-old Jade Jones took bronze in 4mins 00.19secs.

AS MANCHESTER UNITED AND REAL MADRID PREPARE TO CLASH IN FRONT OF 109,000 FANS IN THE USA, HERE'S YOUR ULTIMATE LOWDOWN TO THE BIG MATCH TOMORROW AS RONALDO IS REUNITED WITH HIS OLD TEAM-MATES

Manchester United's International Champions Cup clash with European champions Real Madrid on Saturday is expected to provide the largest crowd ever for a football match in America.

The ‘Big House’ stadium in Michigan is expected to welcome 109,000 fans and is the largest ground in the States.

Fitting, then, that such a crowd should be entertained by some of the world’s best players from two of the most iconic clubs on the planet. If America doesn’t ‘get’ football after this, it arguably never will.

While many Americans will struggle to tell their Rooneys from their Ronaldos, the one thing they are sure to understand is money.

Forbes, the esteemed American business magazine, have published a Top 10 of the world’s most valuable clubs, with United and Real occupy two of the top three spots.

The European champions lead with an estimated total value of £2.04billion, but United are not far behind with £1.71bn. Sandwiched in the middle are Barcelona at £1.9bn.

But for all their spending, Real cannot make the final of the tournament on Monday no matter the result against United.

Louis van Gaal’s side lead Group A and could face either Manchester City or Liverpool in the final in Miami.

United won on penalties against Inter Milan in Washington DC after beating Roma 3-2 in Denver.

Roma and Inter both have three points after two games, while Madrid's defeat by Roma on Tuesday ended their hopes of qualifying for the final.

Liverpool lead Group B, one point ahead of Manchester City. Greek side Olympiacos, who are also in contention to make the final, follow with three points, while AC Milan are yet to get off the mark.
