The agent of Mario Balotelli insists there's no problems with Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini.
Balotelli has been dropped from Cesare Prandelli's Italy squad.
"It's an unfortunate time for Mario," agent Mino Raiola told Sky Sport 24. "It's not a happy spell, but he'll come out of it stronger than before.
"Nevertheless, there are no problems with his club or with Coach Roberto Mancini. A part of the English media, the part I don't respect that much, does everything it can to create drama.
"Prandelli and Mario have spoken, it was a positive conversation and their relationship is an excellent one.
"The boy is disappointed with his dismissal and the fact that he's not been selected for Italy as a result."
