Earlier this week, Zangrillo was bullish about signing Balotelli, with coach Alberto Gilardino also keen on the deal.

But today, the president said: "It doesn't depend on me, I expressed a romantic dream and if it also responds to a technical indication it's not up to me to say.

"I know as much as you do..."

For his part, Balotelli is eager to see the move happen.
