AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli has entered legal discussions with ex-girlfriend Raffaella Fico in order to visit his daughter, Pia.
Balotelli refused to accept he was Pia's father until February this year after DNA tests proved his paternity.
He was allowed to hold her for the first time only a month ago in the court house in Naples, after the judge granted special permission.
Balotelli and Miss Fico attended a private hearing at a court in Brescia to discuss how often he will be able to visit his daughter.
His lawyer Alessandra Capuano told Corriere della Sera: "We are well on track to finding a way for both parents to fully collaborate."
