This agent fella blinked first
"As long as there's hope, there's life," Raiola told Sky Italia. "He's calm but anxious to come to an agreement - that's normal for a lad of 19. We're working and we're hoping.
"We are in a delicate phase of the deal, but I am continuing with my work. It could take a long time, but in the end it will be done."

Great news if that's a genuine quote.
Raiola is Zlatan's agent, I'm sure he did ok with the £70M Eto'o/Zlatan deal last year.

My theroy on why a day of talk's with that fat twunt haven't secured a signed deal. The fucker starts his 8.30 meeting munching through a couple of full englishes, moves onto the contiental style brekie about 10, talks break off for coffee and cake at 10:30.
They return to the room at 11, by which time he is already thinking lunch and the talks are heavilly distracted.
He waddles down to china town for an all you can eat buffet at 12 and stays the full 3 hours. By the time he squeezes through the door frame at 3:30 Marwood has seen enough and tells him to piss off back to Milan and we will send him a fax.

Mancini said 48 hours on Wed which suggests today is the day!
Isn't Balotelli's agent there to get the best deal for his client? If so, he's hardly likely to snap our hand off at the first offer. There will be all sorts of complicated issues around appearances, goals, senior caps, image rights etc.
If he was to become the best player in the world, how many shirts would be sold with his name on them? How many foreign fans might buy a shirt, just for his name, as already happens with the likes of Barca and Messi. Wouldn't you want a share of that, if you were Balotelli? Is it worth giving up £1,000 a week for a percentage of everything sold with your name on it? As a player, he might not see that, but his agent should. If he didn't try to secure these things for Mario, he could be open to a claim from his client for not providing proper representation. He might not get them, but he at least needs to try.
There's no real rush from either side, with over a month of the transfer window left and Mario getting fit at Inter's expense. It would be nice to get him on board and working with the team, but since a number of them are still on holiday, it doesn't need to be resolved immediately. If it was 23:30 on 31st August, or whenever the window closes, both sides would give ground much more quickly.
