AC Milan to make cheeky bid for Man City's Balotelli

AC Milan are toying with the idea of trying to bring Mario Balotelli back to the city after his tough start in England with Manchester City.

The 20-year old was at the San Siro on Sunday, watching the Rossoneri take down his old club Inter Milan 1-0, and was then spotted in the same restaurant as AC chief executive Adriano Galliani.

Reports suggest that AC are keen to rescue him from Eastlands where it is believed he is not enjoying his time but the player himself said that Sunday's events were simply a 'coincidence'.

"I have never said anything (about joining Milan),' said Balotelli. 'It's only a coincidence that we were in the same restaurant," he said.

"Since I left Italy, I am the friend of all the teams. It was nice that Galliani came over to say hello to me."

Galliani added: "We don't want to create a scene. We don't bother players and other clubs. Balotelli is a City player and that's it."
