The deal which saw Aston Villa sell Douglas Luiz to Juventus may take a while to look like sense for the Premier League side.
Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea joined the Villans as part of the bargaining, and there was hope they could help the club this season.
Iling-Junior has already left Aston Villa to join Bologna on a loan deal and there are now question marks about Barrenechea’s future as well.
La Lazio Siamo Noi have reported today that the midfielder could follow the same path as his Aston Villa teammate, and Lazio have an interest in bringing him back to Italy.
For now, the financial difference between the two clubs is ‘substantial’. That is the only thing holding back an agreement between the Birmingham side and the Roman club.
Marco Baroni’s side would only sign him if they have a buying option inserted in the deal.
Whether a deal like that suits the English side remains to be seen, but such a demand would explain the financial differences.
