Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Mario Balotelli to stay at current clubs

None of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mario Balotelli or Marek Hamsik will leave their respective clubs this summer, according to the agent of all three players.

The agent of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Mario Balotelli has insisted that the pair will remain with their current clubs in this transfer window.

AC Milan forward Ibrahimovic has been touted as a target for Serie A rivals Juventus while Balotelli has repeatedly been linked with a return to Italy following his disciplinary troubles at Manchester City.

However, their representative Mino Raiola is convinced that neither player will be moving clubs this summer.

"Ibrahimovic will stay at AC Milan as much as Balotelli at Manchester City," he told Radio RTL.

"Is it true that Juventus want him [Ibrahimovic]? I am not the Juventus owner and I can't deny an opinion that is not mine.

"I don't know. It is a question you have to put to Agnelli and Marotta."

Raiola also confirmed that another client, Marek Hamsik, is almost certain to stay at Napoli despite apparent interest from the Premier League.
