Meghni demands summer move Wednesday 22 June, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mourad Meghni is looking for a new club following Bologna’s relegation from Serie A on Saturday.
The Rossoblu are expected to lose a host of their best players this summer and Meghni insists he wants to be one of them.
"One thing is for sure, Serie B is not a good thing, both for me and the club," he told But! magazine. "I don't know Bologna's intentions yet but I don't want to play at that level.
"For the moment I can't see what my future will be but I would prefer to avoid a team that is playing for survival."
The attacking midfielder is one of Europe’s top youngsters, with some even comparing him to Zinedine Zidane.
That claim saw him linked with moves to Juventus and Palermo recently but the young Frenchman admits he could even return to his homeland.
"I don't know anything about Juventus," Meghni added. "It is too early to talk about Juve because I have had no direct contact.
"I was on Palermo's list but it was when Francesco Guidolin was still in charge as he managed me at Bologna in the past.
"Since he has been sacked, the Palermo trail is not topical anymore. But the fact that the club will play in next season's UEFA Cup could be an exciting challenge.
"A comeback to France is possible. If I have to go to France, Spain or anywhere else I will do."
