Inter Milan star Mario Balotelli is not about to make a move to big-spending Manchester City, according to the player's agent.

Balotelli has been heavily linked with a switch away from the Serie A side after enduring a difficult relationship with manager Jose Mourinho.

The 19-year-old has also fallen foul of the club's supporters during his spell at the Giuseppe Meazza and City boss Roberto Mancini is believed to be keen on bringing the striker to Eastlands.

Inter have one round of domestic matches to complete where they look to secure a second successive Scudetto crown before taking on Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League final.

But the Italy under-21 international will not be agreeing to go anywhere before the season's conclusion, according to agent Mino Raiola.

"This is a big stupidity," said Raiola on www.tuttomercatoweb.com of the Man City link. "There was no contact and Mario won't go to City for sure.

"We'll talk with the club about Balotelli's future after the (Champions League) final in Madrid.

"Now the boy must be focused exclusively on these last two games, as Jose Mourinho asked. We must wait until the end of the season."
