Agent: Balotelli worth 860 million litas © EuroFootball.com

Mario Balotelli's agent claims that the value of the Italian national team striker is 250 million euros (860 million litas). The footballer, who scored three goals in the European Championship, represents a club and won the English championship last season.

"The value depends on how much market participants are willing to pay," said agent Mino Raiola. "But let's remember that 'Man City' is not a team that has to sell, so Balotelli doesn't have a price. In that case, his value could be around 250 million euros. Am I crazy? Go ask the club officials how much they would ask."

"They always said that I am crazy, but in my opinion, the 21-year-old boy has the potential to be the best in the world. Currently, he is definitely in the elite of Europe."

In the Premier League, the Italian scored 13 goals in 23 matches.
