Man City striker Balotelli: AC Milan vice-president Galliani has been in touch

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has revealed contact with AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani.

The 20 year-old was in Italy this week for knee surgery.

Balotelli said: "It's true Galliani sent me a text and he wished me a speedy recovery.

"I am fine, the operation went well. I hope to get back to playing as soon as possible. Yesterday Materazzi came to find me, but I imagine that my other former team-mates will see me at my house. I am still tied to Inter."

When pressed on Milan's interest, he said: "This is something else. I have still not played for City."
