The agent of Mario Balotelli has shutdown talk of an AC Milan move for the Manchester City striker.

The Serie A giants hope to tempt Manchester City by paying £23.5million to bring the bad-boy to the San Siro - but want to pay in SIX instalments.

Responding to reports City now want £31m for Balotelli, his agent Mino Raiola said: "They have never asked for money because they haven't put the player up for sale. There are no negotiations going on for Balotelli, not with any side.

"City don't want to sell or loan Mario, there is a zero per cent chance of a move. But who knows what will happen before January 31."
