Mario Balotelli will not be quitting Nice during the January transfer window, the French club’s president has said.
Balotelli last week told Italian media he would happily return to Manchester City “for free” while adding he had been in contact with two other former clubs in Serie A, AC Milan and Inter.
However Nice president Jean-Pierre Rivere will not be allowing his star striker to go anywhere next month.
“Mario leaving? No, that’s impossible. You know his importance. It’s unimaginable,” he said, adding that even a weighty offer would not sway him.
“That’s not what interests us for Mario, but rather that he continues carrying the team onwards and upwards.”
