Agent: 'Mario Balotelli to stay at Manchester City'

Mario Balotelli's agent says that the Italian will honour his contract with Manchester City.

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli will honour his contract with the club, according to his agent Mino Raiola.

The 21-year-old has not been far from controversy this season, but has scored 12 goals in his side's push towards the top of the Premier League.

The Italian is contracted with City until 2015, but there were fears he could leave the club after reportedly feeling unhappy with his treatment in England.

"As far as Mario is concerned, we have a strategy for him to stay at Manchester City for three years – which we are respecting in full. We hope that he will continue to play for them next season, even though you can never rule anything out," Raiola told The Sun.

Balotelli is currently serving a four-game suspension for stamping on Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Scott Parker.
