Inter refuse to rule out Balotelli move

Inter Milan have refused to rule out a sensational move for Mario Balotelli this summer.

The troublesome Manchester City striker has been in the headlines all season, with his off-field antics causing Roberto Mancini some frustration.

The Eastlands boss recently claimed he would have felt like punching Balotelli if the pair were team-mates.

The City manager has tried to nurture Balotelli following the fiery striker's £24m move from Inter Milan in 2010 but continues to be exasperated with the 21-year-old's antics.

And he could lose Balotelli this summer as Inter Milan are preparing a move, according to reports in Italy.

The Serie A side's technical director Marco Branca says the club will weigh up a move at the end of the season.

"Balotelli? We are now thinking about Fredy Guarin's press conference and the upcoming match against Cagliari," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"We will talk about that in one or two months."
