And he told La Gazzetta dello Sport today: "They (Al Hilal) called me.

"That's true, but I wanted to stay to continue my development and because I want to go back on the national team and maybe live my dream: come to the World Cup.

"I've always thought of Bologna. I'm glad to do it. 

"At Bologna you have fun playing football. And when you have fun, things get better."
