Mario Balotelli's agent remains confident a deal can be agreed with Manchester City, but revealed other clubs are keen to sign the striker.[LNB] City have spent several weeks trying to conclude a deal for the teenager, but have struggled to come to an agreement with both the player and his club Inter Milan.[LNB]Reports have claimed that Balotelli's demands for a salary of £180,000 a week have placed the transfer in jeopardy ahead of the start of the season.[LNB]However, the Italian's representative Mino Raiola has brushed off the speculation and is optimistic that a deal can eventually be reached for Balotelli to join City.[LNB]"It's not true what has been written by the British tabloids," Raiola told Sky Italia. "I would be preoccupied for the next five years of my life if I responded to such things in the tabloids.[LNB]"These voices are annoying Mario and he would like to respond, but it's not the time.[LNB]"We have no problems either with City or with Inter. At the table all three parties must be happy, we have made an important step forward.[LNB]"Mario has never asked for anything, he doesn't live for the money, but his passion is playing football.[LNB]"There is still something to find for an agreement between us and City, but I am confident there are only details.[LNB]"Manchester City remains the priority for us, but we also have other offers which we will evaluate carefully.[LNB]"Who? I can just say they come from both Italy and abroad."
