Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini has played down talk of being reunited with Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli.
The pair worked together at Manchester City.
Mancini said: "I love Mario as a player and as a person and I hope he can play well with Liverpool. His quality is top, even if he isn't going through a good moment.
"About taking him in with Inter, I think the situation in Italy would make things difficult for him.
"But that's not about me, I have no problems. Now he's in Liverpool, a great club, and that's where he must play well."
