Man City striker Balotelli tells Mancini: I don't need to get married

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli insists he's not ready to get married.

City coach Roberto Mancini has admitted he would like to see Balotelli settle down and even suggested he should get married to long-term girlfriend Raffaela Fico. However, the 21-year-old is not so sure.

"Do I think to marry? For me it is not soon," he admitted.

"When you find the right person, it may be the time. Raffaella is the best thing that ever happened to me. It gives me peace of mind, she understands me when I make a mess.

"How did she take my evening at the strip club? Well I'd have got angry if she went to a male strippers' club with her friends."

"I have not done anything wrong at the strip club, even though I was wrong to go there two days before a game.

"The fine? I don't know yet. I have to talk with Mancini."
