A move to AC Milan is unlikely for Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli.
Il Giornale says the only hope Milan have of signing Balotelli is if Roberto Mancini is shown the door.
It's claimed Balotelli would follow Mancini out of Eastlands, particularly given the way he has been treated by his former Inter Milan coach since arriving in England.
Milan remains an option for the striker, but only long-term for now.
