Paddy Agnew, talkSPORT's man in Italy, says AC Milan are a 'long way from signing' Mario Balotelli, amid reports the Italian club are keen to clinch a deal for the Manchester City striker.

And Agnew says he would be surprised if Inter Milan decided to cash in on Philippe Coutinho after Liverpool were claimed to have tabled a bid for the 20-year-old Brazilian midfielder.

"He hasn't played an awful lot for Inter but he's a good player. I wouldn't have thought they would want to get rid of him," he told H & J. "I can't see them selling off Coutinho."
