Brescia striker Mario Balotelli says he's prepared to stay with the Serie A strugglers.

Indeed, Balotelli insists his future will be decided by Brescia president Massimo Cellino.

He said, “For Christmas I ask for good health for me and my family. I want to remain at Brescia, unless the President doesn't want me anymore.

“I have all the intention to stay. I am at home. I need a year that's a little calmer. I want to score a lot of goals, I was also unfortunate this year, between hitting posts and wasted chances.

“After the events in Verona, I haven't encountered a similar situation. I have to say however, that I have nothing against the city of Verona. A few idiots making noises, the rest of the public were fine."
