The former City striker swapped Manchester for Milan in what was the biggest transfer of the January window.
The 22-year-old has since scored four goals in his first three outings for the Milan giants, his most recent coming this past weekend with a superb free kick against Parma.
The Milan supremo is weary of expecting too much too soon from the striker, but could not hide his admiration following his excellent start to life in the San Siro.
"We will keep our affection close and try not to exaggerate too much. However, he has become a phenomenon, a star," he told Radio Lombardia on Sunday night.
"He stops the traffic around Milan."
Berlusconi has admitted the unpredictable youngster's past behaviour will put him under the spotlight in Italy, but is a little more optimistic about his future going forward.
"Let's hope it continues like this and he keeps performing well, because while in training and on the field he is above reproach, but when he is out, perhaps as a result of provocation, his behaviour can be exaggerated," he added.
