Report: Inter Milan Agrees To Send Mario Balotelli To Manchester City

With performances clauses in the deal, the fee going to Inter Milan could climb to €35 million.

Balotelli just completed a controversial third season at the San Siro that saw the attacker clash with coach, teammates, opponents, and fans. An Italian of Ghanaian descent, Balotelli was the subject of racial abuse at various points in the last season. Balotelli was also left out of Inter’s team during stretches of the season due to his conflicts with coach José Mourinho. After a perceived uninspired performance in a Champions League match, Balotelli and veteran defender Marco Materazzi were reported to have had an altercation, while the striker’s Italian season concluded with a controversial incident in the Coppa Italia that saw Roma’s Francesco Totti ejected after inflicting an intentional foul on him.
