Bologna starlet ready for great team

Silvio Pagliari, agent of Bologna forward Manolo Gabbiadini, believes his client may possess the talent to move onto a bigger club at the end of the season.

The 21-year-old striker, who is co-owned by Atalanta and Juventus, is on loan with Bologna until the end of the season, and has proven his star potential through a number of impressive performances.

Pagliari spoke to calciomercato.it about Gabbiadini’s great run with the Rossoblu so far, and insisted that the young player is ready to take the next step in his blooming career.

“His campaign to date has been excellent,” said the agent.

“He’s scored six goals, while playing out wide, and he’s started 16 League games. They are certainly important numbers.

“Manolo is ready to take the next step up, to play for a great team – even if he just has to concentrate on ending this season well.

“After that we will sit down around a table with Juventus and Atalanta to evaluate what to do next. He has no real preference at this stage. Let’s see what happens.”
