AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri admits he would welcome Mario Balotelli to the San Siro. [LNB]The Manchester City striker is understood to have opened up to friends about his difficulties in adapting to England. [LNB]Milan will continue to monitor Balotelli's happiness, despite the 20-year-old declaring he was happy to stay at Eastlands after scoring a hat-trick in Tuesday's 4-0 thrashing of Aston Villa. [LNB] Feeling Blue: Mario Balotelli is apparently unhappy in Manchester, but still managed to net a hat-trick against Aston Villa on Tuesday[LNB]The former Inter Milan player has never hidden his love of the Rossoneri and Allegri has fuelled the transfer talk by admitting: 'I would like to coach Balotelli, but it (a transfer) would be hard as we already have many champions.'[LNB] Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani is also a keen admirer of the Italy international and believes a deal at the end of the season is not impossible if Balotelli is still having problems.[LNB] [LNB]To and fro: On-loan Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic could return to Barcelona should Balotelli become available at a decent price[LNB]City boss Roberto Mancini has noted that his £23million summer signing never smiles, but Balotelli said this week: 'I am happy, even when I don't smile. I feel a striker has to score. It is my job. That is why I don't smile. [LNB]'I am very happy here, even if the journalists in Italy say I want to go to Milan. I am working hard in training and I want to be an important man for this team.' [LNB]Ronaldinho's expected January exit could mean a loan move for Luca Toni, but Milan are unlikely to commit to a permanent deal for the Genoa striker unless they are persuaded there is no chance of City selling their No 45. [LNB]Antonio Cassano was recently added to a list of forwards that includes Robinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the returning Alexandre Pato.
