But it won't necessarily be a feat he'll savour - much like the rest of his time with the Reds.
In securing his last-ditch switch to Ligue 1 outfit Nice on Wednesday afternoon, he became the 13th player to leave Anfield this summer.
And only once before, in the club's 124-year history, have there been so many permanent departures in one summer.
As the LiverpoolEcho point out, the previous high was set in 2005 on the back of the club's fifth Champions League triumph.
But before Balotelli's long-expected exit helped Liverpool reach the previous record, a series of other deals had of course unfolded.
Kolo Toure and Jose Enrique's releases got the ball rolling at the end of June.
While Jordan Rossiter, Joao Carlos Teixeira and Jerome Sinclair's bosman moves to Rangers, Porto and Watford respectively took the running total up to five.
Next there were Martin Skrtel, Sergi Canos, Jordan Ibe and Brad Smith's pre-season agreements taking them away from Merseyside.
Joe Allen, Christian Benteke, Luis Alberto and Balotelli followed them, taking the tally to 13.
In total 22 players went through the Anfield exit door this summer, but nine of those will return having only left on loan.
The last of those temporary movers was Lazar Markovic, with Jurgen Klopp allowing the 22-year-old to link up with Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon for the next 10 months.
