Mario Balotelli may have been overshadowed by brilliant Spain in the Euro final but the Manchester City hitman has been valued at a staggering £200 million.

This is the view of the player's Italian super-agent Mino Raiola when asked what he would be his worth after the Euros.

Raiola said: "If I had to pick a price-tag, I’d say Balotelli is worth £200m. Think I’m crazy? Just ask the Manchester City owners.
 
"But whatever the price, he will stay at City, 200 per cent. It is not that Mario has changed, but the way people around him now see him. That is what has changed."

Balotelli has been linked with a move back to his native country ever since he signed for City in 2010 with AC Milan known to be admirers, according to The Sun.

Bitter City rivals Manchester United must be wishing he would help their cause by doing just that.

    "It's good for Manchester United to buy him." Ha,ha,ha!! Do you think Man United even have 50 million available to spend on players? Of course they don't, they're broke and a spent force. God bless the Glaziers!

    Man United haven't offered £200 mil for him. No one has. The point his agent is making is that because Man City do not want to sell him, or need to sell him, then if a club was to come in for him they'd need to be offering around £200 mil.

    Wouldn't matter if they could afford him.. he's not for sale... it's that simple... and the question was asked to his agent how much is he worth after the Euros with the agent replying 200 million basically his way of saying Mario had a great competition.

    No club in this world will be willing to pay such amount of money for a player who is not consistency. We all know how rude Mario Balloteli is and I don't think Milan can pay such huge amount of money. One United.

    How appropriate that United are tagged as bitter.

    What have they got to do with Balotelli? And how can Milan possibly afford him when they're in financial trouble?
