Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has rebuffed several bids for Mario Balotelli from giant clubs.

According to ESPN soccerNet, Mancini who insisted earlier that Balotelli remains at Eastlands, has also urged him to build on his impressive Euro 2012 and work on consistency this season.

Successful season

-This summer, we had a lot of requests for him. Many important teams wanted him. We cannot accept the offers, he is young and we are sure he can improve. We can say Mario did a fantastic European Championship. This is true. If he understands he has all this quality it is important for him to improve his behaviour.

Balotelli attained 17 goals in all competitions last year and also did the last pass for Sergio Aguero in the title-winning goal against QPR.
