Mario Balotelli Will Join Man City Today – £24m Fee
By Ollie Irish
Super Mario Balotelli is on his way to England right now (he might have landed at Manchester Airport already), to undergo a medical at Man City.
This morning, City boss Roberto Mancini told hacks: “We are close with Balotelli. Hopefully today or tomorrow. Mario is on his way here today.”
That’s right folks – City and Inter have finally agreed a deal that will see the young Italian striker move to Eastlands, for a fee reported to be £24m.
That’s a hell of a lot of money for a teenager with a bad attitude, but we’ll see if Mancini can get the best out of him, as he claims.
Tevez, Adebayor, Balotelli – good luck with that, Roberto.

…Cruz, Bellamy, Jo…
Standard City fee.
[...] Forwards – The roster: Carlos Tevez, Emmanuel Adebayor, Robinho, Roque Santa Cruz, Jo, Craig Bellamy, Felipe Caceido. That’s a bloated bunch, and City are reportedly keen to ditch Caceido and Santa Cruz, at least, whilst Bellamy – unhappy at Eastlands since Hughes was dumped – is tipped for a loan move to Celtic, or possibly a permanent deal to Aston Villa. The mercurial teenager Mario Balotelli is also set to join from Inter, but only if his people accept a more realistic salary for the young Italian (looks like they have). [...]
Man City is a trainwreck waiting to happen…
whats the weekly wage anyone know?
