Inter and Manchester City reach agreement over Mario Balotelli - report

25 Jul 2010 23:59:00

Inter and Manchester City have eventually reached an agreement over the transfer of striker Mario Balotelli, according to latest reports.

Sky Sport Italia reports that after days of negotiation both clubs have ultimately come to an agreement. It is said that City will pay €30 million plus bonus add-ons to Inter, and that Balotelli will pen a five-year contract worth €4 million each year.

The striker affirmed that he is leaving for the US tour with the European champions but when probed whether Inter want to sell him or he wants to leave Inter, Balotelli remarked with a smile, "I cannot speak."

Last summer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, then of Inter, went on a similar tour with the Nerazzurri but eventually signed for Spanish giants Barcelona.

An official announcement is expected to be made on Monday or Tuesday. Balotelli's agent, Mino Raiola, had earlier said that his client's future will be revealed early this week.

Neither Inter nor Manchester City have yet commented on reports of an agreement, but both clubs have acknowledged in the past that a possible Balotelli move has featured on their radars.

Balotelli, who turns 20 on August 12th, made his Inter debut aged just 17. He has scored 20 goals in 59 Serie A appearances, and 28 in 86 competitive matches overall.

Babelfish version: (If only that Officer Corps would get their arses in gear!)

Balotelli is practically a player of the Manchester City. It lacks by now only l' officer corps for the passage of Supermario to the square trained from Roberto Mancini. Like yesterday anticipated from Mino Raiola own to TMW, the agreements have been caught up all, between the societies and player and City. From the cession of Balotelli l' Inter would have to embed 35 million euro altogether. The player, between l' other, has already greeted all the staff nerazzurro. The case wants then that Balotelli faces l' Inter since quickly. The 31 in fact is in program un' friendly own between Inter and Manchester City

And I'm really looking forward to the 'un friendly'!!

Supermario has just said goodbye to all his own best friends in Milan last Friday night! Balotelli will be a Citizen very early! Only God knows what happens now to him, but I feel we've just signed a sort of black diamond ...

Balotelli is far more talented than Bellers. If Bobby can tame Super Mario, we could have a world beater on our hands.

I've had a feeling all along that we'd get Balotelli.....can't wait to see what happens.


Stroke of genius or total trainwreck.....either way it will be interesting

"There has been no signature between Balotelli and City. And I doubt that an agreement will be reached in the next few days," Raiola told ANSA.it.

His response came just hours after La Gazzetta dello Sport claimed the Inter striker had signed his contract already.

Nope. Not just you mate.

This is a done deal, the Italian agents, presidents, ect just love to make it look like they are playing hardball. Both clubs, the player and his agent want this to happen, so it'll happen. Its all about public perception in Italy.

Reports from the Telegraph and the Guardian have appeared on newsnow claiming that the deal is pretty much all but done.... fairly respectable sources aswell instead of the usual tabloid nonsense!

One of the reports intimates that the deal will be announced by tomorrow at the latest, and theres every chance he'll be with us on Wednesday as Inter are in Philadelphia at the moment.
