Mario Balotelli: Notched a brace for Italy to renew transfer speculation

Mario Balotelli's agent has once again confirmed the striker will not be leaving Manchester City any time soon.

The striker put himself in the spotlight on Thursday after notching a brace to sink Germany and send Italy through to Sunday's Euro 2012 final against Spain.

Despite renewed transfer speculation, agent Mino Raiola says the intention is for Balotelli to stay in England - for now.

"Since Thursday night I've received many requests from China, USA, Africa and other countries I have never known," Raiola told Radio Monte Carlo.

"But Mario is clear in his choices. With him, we have always said that we wanted to stay three or four years in England.

"Don't forget that next year will be only the third one he will be there, and he's only aged 21."
