Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola is ready to rescue Mario Balotelli from Inter Milan.
Italian sources say Guardiola plans a January bid for the Italy U21 international, convinced Balotelli wants to leave Serie A after copping more racist abuse from fans at Cagliari on Sunday.
Guardiola regards Balotelli as a natural long-term successor for Thierry Henry and would be willing to move for the 19 year-old in the winter market, should Inter indicate they're ready to sell.
