Mario Balotelli distances himself from Chelsea rumours

Mario Balotelli insists that he is happy at AC Milan as reports link him with a move to Chelsea.

AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli has rubbished rumours linking him with a move away from the San Siro.

The 23-year-old's agent Mino Raiola had hinted that his client could soon be "reunited" with Blues coach Jose Mourinho, whom he worked under at Inter Milan.

However, the Italian international said that he is focused on matters with the Rossoneri.

"I have always said that I do not watch out for the distant future," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"I am thinking about doing well against Genoa [at the weekend] and not about the market in either January or May.

"I am happy at Milan and I am happy to be here."

Balotelli joined Milan on a four-and-a-half year deal from Manchester City in January, and has gone on to score 16 goals in 23 games.
