"I do not know what will happen, but he is a player that has the potential to be truly great," he explained to Sky Sport 24.
"I think he has the opportunity to take a step forward to the national team. I am not sure when, as this depends on the needs and choices of [coach Marcello] Lippi."
The former Lazio and Chelsea hitman admitted that the player's attitude was not the best, but reminded everyone that he is still a teenager.
"Mario has a very strong personality, he must learn that he is in a team and a group, which is part of an elite number of players that are predestined," he continued.
"We must not forget he is 18-years-old and has all the merits and defects of that. He must grow, but it is hard to find a player so strong at that age."
Balotelli scored eight goals for the Serie A champions this past campaign.
