Manchester City's madcap striker Mario Balotelli has moved to squash any rumours of an imminent return to Italy by claiming he is happy building a career under Roberto Mancini. [LNB]The Italian has only just started to show his true worth at Eastlands after a controversial 18 months in England. And having endured a public spat with his manager during pre-season, rumours have been rife he wanted a switch back to Serie A. [LNB] Driving force: Mario Balotelli has shone at Manchester City this season[LNB]However with the Carlos Tevez affair opening the door to the first-team, Balotelli has shone, scoring seven in his last eight games, which has only served to strengthen the interest in him at his former club. [LNB]Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti claimed he would make a move for the 21-year-old in January, but after scoring his first goal for his country in a 2-0 win away at Poland last week, Balotelli claimed he was flattered by the link but nothing more. [LNB]AC Milan have also shown an interest, while City's Champions League opponents Napoli are also keen.

It's true I have spoken about Inter or Milan, but there are also other teams in England, or in Spain. And Napoli? I have said that I like the town.[LNB]'I thank Moratti for saying he would sign me back immediately. But I'm very happy where I am. I don't want to leave Manchester City right now.[LNB]Regarding his international aspirations, Balotelli added: 'The European Championship?' said Balotelli. 'We will go to win, otherwise it is the end of the world.'[LNB][LNB]
