Inter ace Mario Balotelli has clarified his situation in regards to which nation he will represent at this year's World Cup, if chosen to play.

The 19-year-old would only wear the Azzurri colours, and not those of Ghana.

"I have never thought of playing with the Ghana national team," Balotelli revealed to Sportal. "If I had to choose a national team, it would be Italy."

The Nerazzurri forward also discussed the transfer rumors circulating around him.

"I think that the voices are true, but I don't know whether to take them into consideration or not. I have a contract with Inter, and will remain here.

"When the market opens during the summer, we shall see," he added.

Balotelli has been linked with cross-town rivals Milan, as well as English side Manchester City.
