Mallotelli’s pet pig, “Super” has been barred from joining him in the UK following his move to Liverpool from Italian giants AC Milan, due to British animal importation regulations, Goal reports.
Acording to the regulation, the Italy international must register as a breeder and get a health certificate from a veterinary doctor before Super can join him in England.
Balotelli announce the purchase of the pig via his Twitter account in August of 2013:
