Mino Raiola expects Mario Balotelli to stay at Manchester City, although he can’t rule out an exit.

The 21-year-old has become something of a sensational in the Premier League since his arrival in Manchester in 2010, as much for his wacky off-field antics as his talent on the pitch.

Balotelli has often been linked with a return to his native Italy where Milan are said to be keen, and whilst his agent expects him to stay at City, he is refusing to rule out a summer departure.

“We have a strategy for him to stay at for three years - which we are respecting in full,” he said in The Sun. "We hope that he will continue to play for them next season, even though you can never rule anything out."
