Fulham boss Jol laughs off talk of deal for Man City striker Balotelli

Fulham boss Martin Jol has been linked with a shock move for Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli.

The Dutchman today laughed off talk of a move for Manchester City's Balotelli.

It was reported earlier in the week that the Italian had driven to Jol's house to meet with the agent both share, Mino Raiola.

Asked if a move for Balotelli could be on the cards, Jol said with a smile: "Mino, my friend, said that Balotelli is probably as expensive as the Mona Lisa, the painting.

"You know how much that costs? It will probably be impossible for us.

"I have got to wait until he is probably 30 or 31. Then there might be a chance.

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was with my friend as well, could be 34 or 35 so you will have to wait a bit."
