Inter Milan forward Mario Balotelli has revealed that he had "a love-hate relationship" with former coach José Mourinho.
The teenager had a tempestuous relationship with the Special One and there were claims that if Mourinho didn't leave this summer then he would instead.
"I had a love-hate relationship with Mourinho," Balotelli told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
"So much was said about this and when you get two people with a similarly strong personality, they tend to clash.
"There were some arguments, but nothing so serious, these are things that happen.
"When I watch myself on television sometimes I don't even recognise it as me. I'm a good person with healthy principles, but I am also young and like to have fun.
"What if Mourinho called me to Real Madrid? No, I prefer the sun in Naples."
This interview with the Napoli radio station fuelled reports that Balotelli could join the San Paolo side.
He added: "Napoli is fantastic and the warmth of the people is extraordinary.
"The fans ask me to come and play here, I reply that Napoli is marvellous and the crowd remarkable, but football is another matter.
"I don't know where I'll be playing next season."
