”She said yes,” the Italy striker posted on Instagram. ”The most important yes in my life.”
”That was the place of my question! I Love you and happy birthday too!” Balotelli added, next to a picture of a romantic beach setting.
Balotelli also posted a picture of a diamond ring on Neguesha’s hand.
At training, Italy’s squad applauded Balotelli and he responded with a wave of his hand and a wide smile. Then teammates Antonio Candreva, Ciro Immobile and Ignazio Abate went over to offer a congratulatory hug.
Balotelli continued to smile as ran alongside Immobile and chatted with the forward who is posing a challenge to his lineup spot.
Earlier this year, Balotelli acknowledged he has a daughter, Pia, from a previous relationship with Raffaella Fico.
Coach Cesare Prandelli has opened Italy’s training base in Brazil to wives and girlfriends. The Azzurri face England on Saturday.
