Mario Balotelli lapped up the sunshine and the attention from the ladies as he strutted around in just his briefs while holidaying in Spain.

The 21-year-old striker walked around outside his apartment in Ibiza wearing a pair of tight purple underpants as he showed off his toned torso.

The Man City ace is never normally modest or shy but, he made sure he was adequately covered before leaving his apartment.

The Italian international pulled on a pair of white Hollister beach shorts before deciding to slip out of the purple pants in favour of something more fashionable, the Daily Mail reported.
