Milan want Balotelli price lowered

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has confirmed his club's interest in signing Italy striker Mario Balotelli - but not at Manchester City's asking price of 37million euros (£31million).

The 22-year-old has struggled for form and encountered a number of off-field problems during his time in England, prompting questions to be asked about his future with the Barclays Premier League champions.

Quoted in Gazzetta dello Sport, Galliani said: "At the end of Friday, Manchester City still said 37million euros. We will see on Monday. Under these conditions, he will remain at Manchester City."
