The agent of Internazionale striker Mario Balotelli has denied reports suggesting that his client is virtually at war with coach Jose Mourinho.

The talented 19-year-old was left out of the squad for the Champions League win at Chelsea, but agent Mino Raiola has played down talk of a total breakdown in the relationship between the forward and Mourinho.

He commented: "There is no war between Mourinho and Balotelli. There is a rapport that certainly needs to grow and improve, but they are not at war.

"Everything Mario does is put under the microscope and the media is going over the top here.

"This is a lad who lives under the spotlight and in my view he needs to get away from that."
