Mario Balotelli's agent has revealed that he would be prepared to take the striker away from Manchester City if he thought he was being persecuted against.
Ballotelli is facing a four-match ban after being hit with a Football Association charge of violent conduct following an apparent stamp on Tottenham's Scott Parker in Sunday's 3-2 win.
And the Italian's agent, Mino Raiola, feels that there is a conspiracy against the forward.
He told Italian radio station Radio Radio: "Mario can't be banned for four games.
"He wasn't balanced and there was also a push from Modric.
Something strange
"It is not an intentional foul because Mario doesn't want to hurt anyone, he didn't see Parker, that's all.
"I want to be balanced but I'm worried because when English players are involved in more serious things, nothing happens, whereas when foreigners are involved, such as Balotelli or Kompany, they were treated harder.
"If I find that there is something strange against Balotelli, my duty is to protect and then take him away.
"In this case I would speak with City, I'd ask them Balotelli's price and would look for the best team for him, as there are only six or seven teams he can play for.
"I talked to Mario who said he is happy to stay in England, but he does not understand certain things and they sadden him."
Banned for life
Raiola also launched a scathing attack on referee Howard Webb, accusing him of lying to protect his own reputation.
He added: "The referee saw everything, because he spoke to Mario after the action.
"So in my opinion, this referee must be banned for life because he didn't tell the truth.
"The TV images show that he is really close to the action, how can he say he didn't see it?
"What was he doing? He says he didn't see it, only to defend himself."
