London - Mario Balotelli has picked up another car fine while he was out for dinner with his girlfriend on Wednesday night in Manchester.
The Man City striker, who was dining with his model girlfriend Raffaella Fico at Wings Restaurant in Lincoln Square, was blissfully unaware that outside lurked a Civil Enforcement Officer.
The council worker was seen taking pictures of Balotelli’s white Bentley before leaving him a parking fine.
The Italian international had illegally parked his expensive vehicle round the corner from the restaurant and left it there for a couple of hours.
The fine will be nothing more than a bit of change for the footie star, who has amassed over 10,000 pounds in fines since moving to Manchester.
He previously owned a white Maserati, which had been impounded an astonishing 27 times last year.
His attitude to the city’s parking regulations has left his club’s liaison officers exasperated, especially as each time the car is towed away, they have to go and get it back.
“Mario will drive from his luxury apartment to a restaurant a few streets away and leave the car on double yellows,” the Daily Mail quoted a source as telling the Sun.
“The other week the Maserati misfired so he just abandoned it.
“Staff have had to bail it out 27 times.
“The valet the club uses empties the glovebox of tickets every time he cleans it.
“Mario doesn’t seem to care. It’s a drop in the ocean to him,” the source added.
