Balotelli heads for summer Man City exit

09 April 2012 - 06:57

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini yesterday admitted that Italian striker Mario Balotelli will probably be heading for the exit door in the summer transfer window. City slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal yesterday, seemingly ending City's title hopes, and Mario Balotelli also earned himself a red card for a rash challenge on Bacary Sagna.

  • Gary Neville breaks silence on Ruben Amorim
  • Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brentford, Estevao absent

  • Balotelli will now be missing for six games and will probably miss the rest of the Premier League season. Yesterday in a post match interview after the game, manager Roberto Mancini admitted that Balotelli would be set for an exit in the summer. When asked if Balotelli would be sold, Mancini replied: "Probably."



    "I like him as a guy and a player, he is not a bad guy and a fantastic player but I'm very sorry for him as he continues to lose his talent and his quality.



    "I don't have any words for his behaviour. I hope for him he can understand he is in a bad way for his future and I really hope that he can change his behaviour in the future."



    Manchester City have been linked with a surprise move for Robin van Persie as it appears Carlos Tevez and Balotelli could now both be heading for a summer exit.
