Agent: 'Mario Balotelli staying at AC Milan'

The agent of Mario Balotelli has rubbished speculation that has linked his client with a January exit from AC Milan.

A recent report had claimed that the Serie A outfit had decided to place the striker on the transfer list.

However, Mino Raiola has dismissed that rumour and insists that the Italian international is "off the market".

"I didn't speak to anyone. They are liars, this is journalism of the lowest form," Gianlucadimarzio.com quotes Raiola as saying.

"I agree with what is reported on Milan's website about Balotelli being off the market in January."

Balotelli, 23, joined Milan from Manchester City in January of this year.
