Inter Milan rules out Balotelli sale

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has ruled out selling Mario Balotelli to Manchester City in the January transfer window.

Balotelli has been linked with a move to City after former Inter chief Roberto Mancini replaced Mark Hughes as manager at Eastlands on Saturday.

Reports says Mancini is looking towards Italy for new signings in the January transfer window.

“I think they (Manchester City ) have made a great signing,” said Moratti on Mancini’s appointment.

“But they should not inquire about Balotelli for January because we are not selling him.”

Balotelli’s contract with Inter is set to expire in 2011.
