Inter resigned to Balotelli departure

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti is resigned to Mario Balotelli leaving the club - with Manchester City his likely destination. The reigning European champions have endured a troubled relationship with their temperamental teenager over recent years, but have always kept faith in his ability.However, this summer it quickly became apparent that the Italy international was looking to start afresh away from Giuseppe Meazza, and a long-running transfer saga was put in motion.Manchester City, who are coached by former Inter boss Roberto Mancini, have led the hunt for Balotelli's signature from the off, but have fallen short of actually striking a deal.That may be about to change, though, with reports claiming an agreement is now in place and the 19-year-old is on his way to England.Moratti's latest take on the situation also suggests a switch is imminent, with the Inter supremo admitting that there is little they can do to stop Balotelli leaving.He told Sky Italia: "Is it a defeat for Inter? Maybe so, we won't know until later. Balotelli is a talent that, for myself, is yet to deliver 100 per cent. "But for all his talent, he was not so indispensable in the achievement of the team. "Balotelli remains a great talent, but for us it is almost an obligation to let him leave this way."
