Mancini eyeing replacement for Balotelli

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini expects to be able to replace Mario Balotelli in the summer.

The Italy international's departure to Milan has left City with just three senior frontline strikers in Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko but Mancini is not immediately concerned.

The Italian said: "When we had this chance, because Milan wanted him and he probably wanted to go back. For us, it was a good situation because in this moment we can start to work to find another solution for the summer. I think it was good for him and us."
