Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has dismissed speculation linking Mario Balotelli with a move to Italy, insisting he is "very, very happy" with the striker.
The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a return to Serie A after being involved in a bust-up with Roberto Mancini on January 3, and although AC Milan appeared to be front runners for the player's signature, their city rivals have now joined the race for the striker.
Reports revealed in December that Milan were preparing a bid for Balotelli , but when asked about a possible departure Mancini was quick to deny any claims AC Milan could sign the striker in the January transfer window.
