The largest block in the Balotelli listing is Olympique Marseille from 2018-19 — six items, most of them EvoKnit Player Issue or Authentic versions, in away and third colours, numbered 9. There is nothing at all from Manchester City, where he played 54 league games between 2010 and 2013 and where most British buyers know him from.
Two AC Milan shirts from 2012-13 numbered 45, one Inter Milan home shirt from 2009-10 also numbered 45, two Adana Demirspor shirts from 2022-23 numbered 9, one Liverpool away shirt from 2014-15, and a 2021-22 Adana Demirspor name set. That name set is worth flagging: it is only the lettering and number, not a shirt.
Four items are Player Issue, meaning squad specification rather than retail. Puma’s EvoKnit construction used on the Marseille pieces is a knitted one-piece body rather than panelled fabric, and it fits noticeably tighter than a standard replica. Condition on these is high — several are graded 9/10 or 10/10 — because they saw little use.
Balotelli has played for thirteen senior clubs, two of them twice. He won 36 Italy caps and scored 14 goals between 2010 and 2018. The listing touches six of those clubs and none of his international football, which makes it a partial record of a career that moved a great deal.
