MANCHESTER: Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has once again rejected speculation linking Mario Balotelli with AC Milan and admits he is struggling to add to his squad ahead of next week’s transfer deadline.
The Italy striker has made just seven Premier League starts this season after a string of controversial incidents.
Balotelli, 22, attempted to take the club to a Premier League tribunal in December after contesting fines for his poor disciplinary record.
Milan vice president Adriano Galliani has told City they need to lower their asking price for Balotelli, who has also been linked with a loan move to the San Siro.
But Mancini has dismissed the prospects of Milan signing Balotelli before the transfer window closes on Thursday. — AFP
