Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is determined to land Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli.
The Mirror says City remain keen on Balotelli after Inter Milan claimed they have rejected a £20.8million offer for the teenager.
City manager and former Inter coach Mancini feels he can tame the bad boy of the San Siro and Blues officials have opened negotiations.
Inter hope to spark an auction between City and Manchester United for Balotelli and want £30m for the 19-year-old.
