Mother of Balotelli moves into £550-a-month Wythenshawe house to be close to Man City star

The biological mother of Manchester City star Mario Balotelli has moved to Manchester.

The Sun on Sunday says Balotelli's mum has moved to one of Britain's toughest council estates as she rekindles her relationship with the son she gave away as a child.

While the £120,000-a-week footballer lives in a mansion and a plush hotel, Rose Barwuah rents a £550-a-month terraced house in part of Manchester made famous by TV's Shameless.

Manchester City striker Mario, 21, has visited her in Wythenshawe - driving his white Bentley GT, popping to shops and even standing his round in a pub.

A neighbour said: "Rose is a religious woman who goes to church every Sunday. All she has ever wanted was to rebuild their relationship and now it looks like her prayers have been answered."
