Antonio Cassano labelled the Nice striker as overrated along with Manchester United's Paul Pogba and Real Madrid's James Rodriguez.
Cassano said: "Three overrated players? Pogba, James Rodriguez and Balotelli.
"I do not think Pogba is worth €120 million, and Rodriguez is not worth €80m. If he was worth that much, what would be the value of [Andres] Iniesta at that age?."
However, Balotelli took to Twitter respond to his fellow countryman's remarks.
Translate: "The genius has exploded. "It's true, you really do only have few friends, and none when it comes to work."
