Mario Balotelli’s agent has insisted that the striker has no problem at Manchester City and all is well.
Speculation was sparked recently when Citizens boss Roberto Mancini left Balotelli out of his Champions League squad to face Real Madrid, a game Manchester City lost 3-2 at the Bernabeu.
relatedNewsStory Mancini quickly insisted he had not fallen out with the lively Italian forward, but also stressed he was unhappy with Balotelli’s smoking habit.
Balotelli was expected to be handed a starting role, given his freshness, in Manchester City’s weekend clash against Arsenal, but the 22-year-old was only brought on with five minutes remaining in the game.
That caused the striker’s agent Mino Raiola to check up with Mancini and his client after the match to see all was well – and he can report there is no problem.
"Mario feels well in Manchester", said Raiola.
"There is no kind of problem", he added.
Balotelli has only started two Premier League games for the Citizens so far this season and has yet to score.
