Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli got into a "bust up" with manager Roberto Mancini on the practice pitch when Balotelli refused to return to the dressing room after he lunged at teammate Scott Sinclair. Mancini grabbed Balotelli's shirt and tried to drag him off the field, prompting Balotelli to push Mancini.
Balotelli is one of football's most controversial players. He's notorious for his bizarre off-field shenanigans and his erratic behavior on the pitch. Teams put up with Balotelli's antics because he has the potential to be one of the world's best footballers, recent poor showing at Manchester City notwithstanding.
Despite his immense talent, the Italy striker's valuation has plummeted of late, and Man City may not be able to move him. Among the clubs that previously may have been interested, Inter Milan can't afford Balotelli, and past incidents involving racial taunting at Turin would prevent him from going there. Not even AC Milan seems to want Super Mario, with owner Silvio Berlusconi saying Balotelli "doesn't convince me as a man."
