Inter insists Balotelli is priceless

Thu 15th, July 2010

Milan, Italy (Sports Network) - Inter Milan is adamant that in-demand teenager Mario Balotelli will not be leaving the San Siro this summer.

A host of clubs have been linked with the 19-year-old, including Manchester United and Manchester City, but Inter's sporting director Marco Branca says both Balotelli and Brazil international defender Maicon will be staying at the club.

Maicon is believed to be a target of former Inter boss Jose Mourinho, who is now at Real Madrid.

However, Branca said: "We are in a very privileged position having won so much and it's true that every day we are receiving calls because everyone wants at least six or seven of our champions.

"Maicon and Balotelli? Balotelli is priceless. At this time, he and Maicon are not on the market. When and if there are requests we will kindly examine them but they are not on the market.

"The interest in Balotelli from both Manchester clubs is real and very strong, but has not reached an official offer. There will be no meeting with City on Thursday."
