Mario Balotelli has taken care of some personal business before Italy meet England in the World Cup on Saturday by proposing to his Belgian girlfriend Fanny Neguesha.
Balotelli posted a note on Instagram saying: “She said yes. The most important yes in my life.”
Next to a picture of a romantic beach setting, Balotelli added: “That was the place of my question! I Love you and happy birthday too!”

Balotelli also posted a picture of a diamond ring presumably on Neguesha’s hand. The announcement was linked to Balotelli’s official Twitter account.
Earlier this year, Balotelli acknowledged he has a daughter, Pia, from a previous relationship with Raffaella Fico.
The Italy coach Cesare Prandelli has opened Italy’s training base in Brazil to wives and girlfriends. The Azzurri face England on Saturday.
