Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has insisted that the club have not received any offers for striker Mario Balotelli.

Reports emerged today claiming that Serie A side AC Milan have had a bid rejected for the 22-year-old, who has drifted down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium.

"Mario stays here," Mancini said in a press conference. "We didn't have any requests about Mario or other players."

Balotelli has been with the North-West side since 2010.
