Former Roma striker Ciccio Graziani is backing Bologna's move for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Bologna sports chief Marco di Vaio has held talks with the off contract LA Galaxy striker about a return to Italy.

Bologna are battling Ibra's former club AC Milan for the Swede and Graziani says the former would be a good move for the 38 year-old.

"Ibra at Bologna? I would see it well for the relationship with (Sinisa) Mihajlovic and what he could establish with Canadian ownership," said Graziani.

"He could follow the footsteps of (Roberto) Baggio and (Beppe) Signori."
