Italian pundits are urging Mario Balotelli to quit Manchester City.

Balotelli, says Corriere della Sera's Fabio Cavalera, has discovered the reality of the Premier League.

"It is not paradise, it is an exclusive club that has no interest in forgiving Balotelli, an Italian anomaly," he rapped. "The claim is that English football has improved Balotelli for the simple reason that English football is no better than Balotelli. Indeed.

"Only it is heresy to admit it."
