Manchester City's proposed move for Mario Balotelli has reportedly stalled because he has asked for a ridiculous £180,000 a week.
The 19-year-old seemed on the verge of signing a £65,000-a-week deal last week but it now seems Balotelli wants pay parity with City's big earners.
The Inter Milan striker also wants extra for image rights - according to the Daily Express - to push his wages over the £200,000-a-week mark.
City have developed a reputation for paying massive wages, but it is thought that even they are baulking at the idea of paying that kind of money to a player not even capped by Italy.
