Mario Balotelli's omission from the Italy squad for their upcoming friendlies has outraged the striker's agent, Mino Raiola.
The Nice forward has not been selected for the Azzurri since 2014, but rumours suggested he was being considered for matches against Argentina and England after an impressive run of form.
Balotelli has scored 22 goals in 31 appearances for Nice this season, but has been overlooked after uncapped duo Patrick Cutrone and Federico Chiesa were selected.
Caretaker manager Luigi Di Biagio has vowed to keep tabs on Balotelli's performances ahead of further friendlies against Saudi Arabia, France and Ukraine at the end of the season, but that was not enough for the unsurprisingly outspoken Raiola.
