Chievo Verona president Luca Campedelli admits he'd welcome a deal for Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli.

Campedelli recently met with Mino Raiola, Balotelli's agent, about a return to Italy for the new season.

"Balotelli? Dreaming does not cost anything.

"Today, it remains a dream because we realize that it is very difficult," he said.

"It all can get stuck. You have to take into account the obvious difficulties in terms of price, but at the same time the big clubs are in competition with which Chievo certainly cannot match."
