Manchester City's Mario Balotelli leaving rented property

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has reportedly served notice on his rented house in Alderley Edge.

According to The Guardian, the 22-year-old sent in the notice on January 11 and has begun moving his possessions out of the house.

The four-bedroom property is described by its estate agent as "a stunning newly-constructed residence with lounge-media suite" and costs £13,495 a month to rent. It also comes with a pool and a gym.

AC Milan have confirmed that they want to sign Balotelli this month, but the former Inter Milan striker's agent Mino Raiola insists that the Italy international will not leave City.
