The Rossoblu recently arrived in Manchester to train and start their England summer tour, during which they will play against the Liverpool Under-21 squad and West Bromwich Albion.
Natali spoke about the different atmosphere that’s present in the country and admitted that he’s had a couple of chances to play there throughout his career.
“There is always a particular charming atmosphere here,” said the 34-year-old.
“I have played friendlies against English teams often in my career, including a match against Liverpool at Anfield when I was with Fiorentina.
“I’ve always admired the way they play with great intensity and without any frills.
“This will be a busy but pleasant week for Bologna.
“I’ve had opportunities to play in the Premier League. In the past when I was younger, Wolverhampton have shown interest in me.
“And in more recent times, Fulham have looked to me as well, but I refused both proposals.”
