Italian football can't afford Man City striker Balotelli - agent

Mario Balotelli's agent insists he's happy at Manchester City.

The striker, insists Mino Raiola, is now settled in England.

"Balotelli? Mario is doing as I had expected. There are players who take six months or longer to settle into a new league, then he was injured and has not been able to manage the injury in a relaxed manner, but now everything is normal.

"I do not think that Mario will be back soon in Italy. AC Milan? I believe it is difficult. Italian football is going through a very ugly period and it will be difficult to bring players of a certain level to the league.

"Mario is tied to a club that is among the most economically important in the world."
