European: Battle is on for Meghni

Juventus and Real Madrid are ready to lock horns in the summer in the battle to sign Bologna playmaker Mourad Meghni. The France Under-21 international is rated as one of the brightest talents in European football and is among a number of burgeoning footballers to be saddled with the tag of the 'new Zinedine Zidane'.

His displays in Serie A this season have prompted repeated rumours that he is wanted by Juventus, who have been long-term admirers of the youngster. But Spanish titans Real are also keen on the schemer, whose exit from Bologna is likely to be sanctioned in the summer.
