FIGC President Giancarlo Abete insists there's no need to panic after Inter Milan sold Mario Balotelli to Manchester City.
There are some inside the Italian game concerned that one of their major talents has been lost from Serie A.
"It can happen that players in the Nazionale go to foreign clubs. This is common in many countries, with the possible exception of Spain," said the Federation chief.
"There is a more complex problem, which is working on the young Italian talents to marry quantity with the necessary quality."
