Balotelli won't quit Man City

Mario Balotelli won't quit Manchester City, despite reports in Italy linking him with a return to his homeland with AC Milan.

Balotelli has struggled to settle so far in Manchester, and there are suggestions that the player could quit the club.

"Balotelli went to City and will remain there for several years. It is impossible for him to join Milan in June, almost impossible," Raiola said in an interview on Telelombardia.

"He went to City with a strong commitment to (coach Roberto) Mancini and he should thank him for his confidence. But, the fate of Mario doesn't depend on Mancini.

"(Milan vice-president Adriano) Galliani admires Balotelli, and liked him when he was at Inter, but I didn't speak with Milan when Inter were selling."
