Balotelli agent: Mario stays at City

Mario Balotelli agent Mino Raiola has revealed that the Italian forward is not going to leave Man City during the January transfer window.

It is to be recalled that Man City boss Roberto Mancini has been disappointed with Balotelli’s performance during the Man City’s 2-3 defeat to Man Utd on Sunday. He substituted the 22 year-old Italy international shortly after the break and sharply criticized the striker after the game. “When you have a player with Mario’s quality, you can’t believe that he throws his quality out of the window,” Mancini said.

However Mino Raiola made it clear that his agent wants to stay at the Etihad Stadium. “Absolutely [he will]. You can ask me the question another four hundred times and it will always be the same answer,” he said.

Milan have reportedly stepped up their interest in Balotelli.
