AC Milan will make January attempt for Man City striker Balotelli

AC Milan haven't given up their pursuit of Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli.

The Mail on Sunday says City boss Roberto Mancini stepped in to separate Balotelli from team-mate Jerome Boateng during a training session 24 hours before yesterday's game against Bolton.

But Milan still want the 20-year-old striker back at the San Siro as soon as possible. Milan are short of cash and want a loan deal similar to the one that allowed Zlatan Ibrahimovic to return to Italy from Barcelona.

It would include a clause to buy him at the end of this season when money should be available.
