Enzo Barrenechea is returning to Aston Villa, after a loan spell at Valencia last season.

Aston Villa signed the midfielder from Juventus a year ago and sent him on loan to the La Liga club. He had an impressive second half of the season with Los Ches and became a fan favourite at Mestalla.

Last month, Aston Villa director Monchi said “many clubs” want to sign the 24-year-old. He also said Unai Emery will decide whether to include Barrenechea in his plans or let him move elsewhere this summer.

Valencia would like to bring the player back, preferably on a new loan deal. The Argentine, currently on vacation, shared a story on social media of him training in the Spanish club’s kit.

Fitness trainer Jorge Nicolas Vaca shared a photo of the Aston Villa player in the Valencia kit on his Instagram page. Thursday’s edition of Superdeporte covers all of this and used as a transfer hint.

The report states Barrenechea wants to return, but the Spanish club will face tough competition.
