Bologna set Meghni price
Friday 18 February, 2005
Bologna have told admirers of Mourad Meghni that he will cost £7.5m on the transfer market.
The 20-year-old, dubbed the ‘new Zinedine Zidane’, has been made available by the Rossoblu after attracting the interest of some top European clubs.
But the Stadio Dall’Ara outfit insist they have no intention of allowing the French Under-21 international to leave on the cheap.
"We won’t give him away," owner Giuseppe Gazzoni Frascara stated. "He is worth £7.5m and you can be sure that he will not be sold for anything less.
"After all, the longer he stays with us, the higher his asking price will become for potential buyers."
Whispers suggest that the attacking midfielder is already on the wish list of Juventus and Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, Frascara has revealed that he would love to sign Lazio striker Fabio Bazzani in the summer.
"It is my dream to construct an attack of Bologna-born players," he added. "It would be fascinating to add Bazzani to Giacomo Cipriani and Luigi Della Rocca."
Bazzani, an Italian international, is currently on loan at the Olimpico from high-flying Sampdoria.
