Agent expects Mario Balotelli to stay

The agent of Mario Balotelli believes that the striker is unlikely to leave Manchester City at the end of the season, despite claims to the contrary by manager Roberto Mancini.

The agent of Mario Balotelli has claimed that the striker is unlikely to leave Manchester City at the end of the season.

Blues boss Roberto Mancini said that the controversial 21-year-old would /football"probably" be sold in the summer after he was sent off in Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Arsenal.

However, Mino Raiola believes that Balotelli will be staying at the Etihad Stadium.

"In England, only tabloids write about Balotelli and I use them to clean my car," he told Sky Italia.

"People expect always a lot from Mario so everything he does is amplified. Mario wants to do well for Mancini, who is a big friend of Balotelli.

"Mancini says Balotelli will be sold this summer? I don't think so. I will talk to the club and Mancini."

Balotelli signed for City in 2010 following a £20m switch from Inter Milan.
