Posted Wednesday, January 28, 2015 by Dailystar.co.uk
MARIO BALOTELLI'S agent Mino Raiola has admitted his client could leave Liverpool.
The Italian international's future with the Reds has been the subject of intense speculation in recent months, and he has been linked with a move away from Anfield.
And Raiola has fuelled the speculation even more by claiming the former Manchester City ace could leave the club in the near future.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Raiola insisted the Italian wouldn't be leaving Anfield this month, but suggested the controversial striker could exit the club in the summer.
He said: "Yes, he is happy at Liverpool.
"Nobody is happy to be left out but he reacted in a professional way."

When pressed on the rumours suggesting the ex-Inter Milan ace could leave this month, Raiola added: "We didn’t ask to leave. It is too early, with the injury, to say we leave in January.
"There are no big problems. He’s adapting to a new style that the manager wants. We’ll see in the summer."
Raiola's sensational claim comes the day after Reds boss Brendan Rodgers insisted the Italian has a future at Anfield.
Speaking yesterday, the Northern Irishman said: "It has been a difficult period for him - no doubt - but he is a good boy who does want to fight for his opportunity and chance here."I have seen some clippings this morning (saying) that that is him over with - but that's not the case at all.
"I think (we) have shown here a number of times with players that have been out of the fold, for various reasons, that if they work hard in training, show the intensity and show the focus then they have every chance of getting back in the team - and not only getting back in it but staying in it.
"The opportunity is there for Mario, and for every player - not just him."
