Manchester City attacker Mario Balotelli is continually being linked with a return to Italy, with current table toppers Milan often named as his next destination, but agent Mino Raiola has quashed reports of a summer exit from Eastlands.

The Italy international's representative has made it clear that the 20-year-old won't be leaving City for Milan any time soon, despite the speculation.

"Balotelli and Milan? No, that's not going to happen for now. A transfer from Balotelli to Milan is not something we're working on at the moment," Raiola was quoted as saying by Mediaset Premium. 

Balotelli, who came through the ranks of the Inter youth academy, joined his current club from the Nerazzurri in the summer of 2010 and has since scored six goals in 10 league appearances for the Citizens.

The young attacker has dropped to 1174th spot in the Castrol Rankings following his lack of first team action due to injury in the past few months.
