Balotelli

The biggest news to come out of City during the January window was the sale of Mario Balotelli to AC Milan. Mancini, who stood by the fiery Italian forward throughout an eventful spell in England, admits he tried to persuade the 22-year-old to stay and believes the Premier League has not seen the last of an enigmatic character. He said: "Why not? Mario is only 22, so I think so. "Anyway, he'll probably miss the press and the paparazzi in the next year! "For now it is easier for him in Italy. It's more important that he's happy and that he can play."
