Manchester City are ready to launch a final assault for Inter’s precocious young striker Mario Balotelli.
The Premier League outfit reportedly bid €25m for him last Thursday following a meeting with Inter’s directors in Milan.
Inter will apparently sacrifice Balotelli if City’s offer is in line with their expectations.
Massimo Moratti is said to be holding out for €34m and City are expected to meet that asking price today.
Meanwhile, Balotelli is keen not to make the first move, which could jeopardise his relationship with Inter.
Il Corriere dello Sport claims that the 19-year-old will train today and still expects to go on tour with Inter this summer.
However, if Inter decide to sell him, Balotelli apparently won’t dig his feet in and demand to stay.
La Gazzetta dello Sport understands Balotelli is waiting for Manchester United to show their hand before taking City’s offer into serious consideration.
