The former Manchester City player, has always been the centre of attention due to his antics and it seems the trend has followed him to Serie A.
“There is an exaggerated amount of attention on him,” Raiola told Mediaset before Milan’s 1-1 draw with Barcelona. “It’s not on. I don’t know if I’d be able to stand it all personally. We all need to calm down and we’ll analyse things with Milan.
“Certainly Italy will not be the final stage of his career, but we still have lots of years on his contract here and we don’t want to think that he has to leave for this reason.” The club’s general manager Adriano Galliani, however laughed off suggestion that Balotelli will leave the club, less than a year after he arrived.
“Raiola’s a sly guy,” he said. “He likes to be provocative. I’ve known Mino for many years so I’m not worried.”
Galliani also said he was not worried about finding out if Raiola had been in the Barcelona dressing room after the match at the San Siro. “Then we can do a swap,” Galliani joked. “They’ve got two forwards [Lionel Messi and Neymar] who aren’t bad. They can chose — we’d take either the Brazilian or the Argentine.
