Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni has refused to discuss the possibility of Mario Balotelli returning to the club in the summer.

Balotelli has been tipped to leave Manchester City in the summer following his recent conduct both on and off the field of play.

The Italian striker has been linked with a host of clubs, including the side that he left in 2010 to join City.

However, Stramaccioni opted to swerve the question when asked about a San Siro reunion for the 21-year-old.

"I don't want to talk about a player who is not mine, seven games before the end of the league," he said. "You must ask technical director Marco Branca and president Massimo Moratti.

"Of course he's a player who plays at an international level. But I only want to talk about my players."

Earlier today Balotelli escaped action from the Football Association for a challenge on Arsenal's Alex Song.
