Agent says Man City determined to keep hold of Balotelli

The agent of Mario Balotelli can't see Manchester City wanting to sell the striker this summer.

Juventus are the latest Serie A club being linked with Balotelli.

"This is not the time for Balotelli to return to Italy," said Raiola. "Manchester City consider him to be off the market and Mario has no intention of returning to Serie A until it has improved its position.

"Have you seen the state of your football recently? The top players can't come there with the economic situation being what it is.

"You'll have to ask Manchester City and Roberto Mancini if they change their minds and want to sell, but I don't think that is their intention. Today City and the manager are focusing on Mario. They could change their minds tomorrow, but then we would adapt."
