The agent of Mario Balotelli feels the Manchester City striker will return to Italy in "two years".
Mino Raiola does not rule out that Balotelli will return to Italy in the future but insists the player will remain at City next season.
"Of course, he misses Italy and it's only normal as his family and his friends are there," he said. "Manchester City has no intention of selling him, on the contrary, they want to grow together.
"I think that once Mario decides to return to Italy, there will be a big derby for his services. But right now is not the time, perhaps in one or two years' time.
"Mario has to grow and he will do so in Manchester."
Balotelli is under contract with City until June, 2015.
