Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli has cast doubt on his move to Manchester City.
The Italy U21 international admits he suffers homesickness.
He told Italy's Vanity Fair magazine: "I don't like being alone. I can't imagine being far from my family, in another city."
Balotelli also said: "I am a boy, not a grown man, but I will become one. I always want to be the centre of attention. That's how I am and others don't like it.
"Even if I don't always behave as I should, this still doesn't explain why so many people have something against me.
"Whatever I do, people always talk about me. They keep at it non-stop. Balotelli here, Balotelli there. Why?"
