Aston Villa’s new signing Samuel Iling-Junior is set to leave the Premier League club immediately and join Serie A side Bologna.
After an incredible campaign last season that saw them qualify for the Champions League for the first time since the 1980s, Aston Villa must now prepare to tackle the congested fixture list that accompanies the first level European football.
Unai Emery made some efforts during the summer transfer window to bring in players to help strengthen his squad with the addition of Andre Onana from Everton.
But the Spanish manager also lost arguably his best player in Douglas Luiz, who joined Italian giants Juventus in a more effective player deal.
The two players who joined the English club in exchange for the Brazilian were Enzo Barrenechea and winger Iling-Junior.
Now according to the reports of Gianluca Di Marziothe latter will leave the club on a loan deal in Italy with Champions League side Bologna.
