The agent of misfiring Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli has claimed that his client is happy to stay at the club.
The Italy international, who is yet to score a Premier League goal since joining for £16m from AC Milan in August, was left out of the Reds' 0-0 FA Cup draw with Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.
However, manager Brendan Rodgers has since assured Balotelli that he has a future at Anfield, and agent Mino Raiola insists that the 24-year-old has reacted professionally to the omission.
"Yes, he is happy at Liverpool," Raiola told Sky Sports News. "Nobody is happy to be left out but he reacted in a professional way."
Parma are among those clubs reportedly willing to offer Balotelli an escape route, having scored just twice in all competitions this season.
