Lazio president Claudio Lotito has pulled back from talk of tempting Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli home to Italy.
Lotito met with Balotelli's agent, Mino Raiola, last week to discuss the prospect of signing the striker.
"in the market, we are considering what we can do, we want to keep the chemistry in the locker room.
"Balotelli? We do not sell dreams, but solid reality," declared Lotito, who was also asked about the form of Felipe Anderson.
"Felipe Anderson? He is not on the market. He's a pure gem and I will not lose a treasure."
