When speaking with a SKY Sport journalist, the frozen out Manchester City Mario Balotelli striker asked “In Italy, why do you only speak of me being linked with Milan and Inter? There could be another club.” The journalist questioned if he’d be willing given his fractious past with Juventus fans, and Balotelli stated- “One day I’d like to have the applause of the Juventus fans. Why couldn’t this crazy idea happen?” His agent Mino Raiola was asked about the interview, and while he didn’t deny possible Juventus interest, he played down the idea of a return to Italy, declaring “Mario is well and will stay at City.”
