£60m Balo is a stayer
Posted Thursday, January 12, 2012 by The Sun
MARIO BALOTELLI is ready to extend his contract with Manchester City.
And the striker's agent has warned Italian clubs to forget about him as he is worth £60MILLION.
Balotelli's representative Mino Raiola said: "Mario is well in Manchester and perhaps he'll extend his contract.
"My feeling is that it won't be easy for him to return to Serie A. He is too 'big' for Italy."
The former Inter Milan hitman, 21, has been linked with a return to his homeland since he arrived at the Etihad in August 2010 but still has three years left on his City deal.
AC Milan and Napoli have been linked with him.
But Raiola says the struggle Milan are having to land another City star Carlos Tevez proves they cannot afford him.
He said: "If Inter and AC Milan have difficulties in finding £25m to invest on Tevez, how can they pay £50m or £60m for Balotelli? This is the value of Balotelli, he's No 1."
