Juve got to join me, Mario! Pirlo wants Italian champions to make Balotelli bid
Posted Thursday, July 05, 2012 by Dailymail
Andrea Pirlo wants Juventus to break the bank and sign Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli, insisting: I can handle him.
The pair were among Italy's leading players at Euro 2012, helping Cesare Prandelli's side reach the final in Kiev.
City boss Roberto Mancini is adamant that the 21-year-old firebrand will stay at the Etihad Stadium this summer, with his agent rating the star at a whopping £200million.

But veteran midfielder Pirlo has urged the Italian champions to make a move for the former Inter Milan ace.
'Would I take Balotelli to Juventus? Of course I would take him,' Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia.
After reportedly discovering that his ex-girlfriend Raffaella Fico is pregnant with his child, Balotelli might be tempted to return to his native Italy.
Speaking to Italian website Sport Mediaset, she revealed earlier this week that Balotelli was delighted at the prospect of becoming a father for the first time.
