Agent Mino Raiola claims that there has been a lot of interest in Mario Balotelli following Italy's 2-1 win over Germany, but insists that the 21-year-old will remain at the Etihad Stadium.

Mario Balotelli's agent has again stated that the player will not be leaving Manchester City this summer.

The 21-year-old was the focus of attention last night as he struck a brace to send Italy through to the final of Euro 2012 at the expense of Germany.

Agent Mino Raiola, who earlier this week said that Balotelli had "no intention" of leaving the Citizens in the near future, has reiterated that stance despite increased interest in his client.

"Since Thursday night I've received many requests from China, USA, Africa and other countries I have never known," Raiola told Radio Monte Carlo.

"But Mario is clear in his choices. With him, we have always said that we wanted to stay three or four years in England.

"Don't forget that next year will be only the third one he will be there, and he's only aged 21."

Balotelli, who joined City from Inter Milan in August 2010 for a transfer fee of £24m, has scored 19 Premier League goals in 40 appearances.
