FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio assures the Italy door is open for Graziano Pellè and Mario Balotelli – “we always need goals”.
Pellè was sent home from the last squad after he refused CT Giampiero Ventura’s handshake, while the Nice striker hasn’t been capped since the 2014 World Cup.
“Balotelli?” Tavecchio considered, speaking to Sky.
“There are no foreclosures for anyone, neither for him nor for Pellè. We always need goals.

“Ventura? We have seven points in the group, so we’re satisfied. It’s clear that when you make a change there can be pros and cons.
“Ventura has to cut his teeth while considering the possibility of future growth for the youngsters.
“Gianluigi Buffon? He’s a pillar of our national team, from a technical, moral and ethical point of view.”
