Ex-Villa loanee Bradley attracting interest from Italy

Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Michael Bradley is attracting interest from clubs in Italy according to his agent.

The USA international spent part of last season on loan with Aston Villa but has since returned to Germany where his future is clouded.

But his Italian representative, Paolo Alberto Faccini, told Goal.com that some Serie A clubs are looking at the 23-year old.

"For now he is a Borussia player. Aston Villa did not use their option to buy him and so the player has moved back. His contract expires in 2012 and soon there will be a meeting with the German directors," Faccini said.

"I don't know about an interest from Genoa. I have spoken with a very important club who will be playing in Europe next season and I am waiting for a response.

"I can say that there is also an interest from Bologna. Bradley would like to play in Italy. His advisor is his father and they would be happy.

"Obviously we would like an interesting project as the player is still young."
