Any fresh AC Milan move for Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli will depend on the future of Antonio Cassano.
Balotelli's bust-up in Los Angeles with City manager Roberto Mancini has sparked fresh rumours of the Italian firebrand returning to Milan and signing with the Rossoneri.
Milan sources say the Serie A champs are keen, but only if they can make room by selling Cassano.
Cassano is unsettled at Milan, where he has sought assurances over his first team status. The former Real Madrid forward has been urged to join Fiorentina by his mentors.
