The Internet so badly wants Mario Balotelli to buy this property and call it home.

Balotelli is rumored to have purchased a £4.75 million ($7.8 million) property in Helsby, England — just across the River Mersey from Liverpool.
The property, nicknamed Steppingstone, is fit for a modern-day king. It includes a helipad, pool, game room, wine cellar, miniature soccer field and other amenities that’ll ensure Balotelli’s would-be estate becomes the it spot in town.
Rumors claiming Balotelli had bought the property spread Wednesday, but its current owner denied reports that he had sold Steppingstone to the Liverpool striker.
“Mario rented an apartment from us in Manchester a few years ago when he played for Manchester City and it’s from this that I suspect people have been drawn to the wrong conclusions, but all I can say is that the house is still available and that we’ve had a lot of interest,” Steve O’Connor told the Chester Chronicle.
Maybe Balotelli truly interested in buying Steppingstone. Maybe the Italian is closing in on the property, and O’Connor can’t comment for legal reasons. Perhaps the temperature of Balotelli’s feet is falling.
If that’s the case, we have some advice for Super Mario: Do it.
