The agent of Manchester City forward Mario Balotelli has claimed that the player is worth £202m.
Balotelli, who played the full 90 minutes last night as Italy lost 4-0 to Spain in the final of Euro 2012, moved to the Etihad Stadium in August 2010 and Mino Raiola claims that he will remain at the club unless a bid is made that well and truly smashes the world transfer record.
"The way I see it he's worth, what the market wants," Raiola told Sky Sport Italia. "But remember that Balotelli is in a team that does not need to sell and therefore he has no price.
"If I really had to give him a value, I would say €250m. I am crazy? Go and ask the club what their price would be.
"They have always said I'm crazy, but, in my opinion, at 21 the boy still has potential to be one of the best in the world. At the moment, after these Euros, he is surely one of the best in Europe."
Balotelli was the joint topscorer at this summer's European championships with three goals.
