Chelsea chief Frank Arnesen has posted scouts to watch the 17 year-old striker in primavera action in recent weeks and his brother, Corrado, has dropped the bombshell today that he could be on the move.

"He would like to progress, he deserves the first team," Corrado, who also acts as Balotelli's manager, told Tuttosport.

"There is no negotiations to renew his contract. In the future, Mario could go abroad."
