Samuel Iling Jr. has bid farewell to Bologna and is heading back to England.
The young player’s second Italian adventure has come to an end as he returns to his homeland for a new loan stint, this time in the Championship.
The promising winger had joined Bologna on loan from Aston Villa, who had initially signed him from Juventus as part of the deal that saw Douglas Luiz move in the opposite direction.
Bologna are already in the process of securing a replacement for Iling Jr., with medical examinations taking place for the new arrival in the rossoblù camp.
The departure marks another chapter in Iling Jr.’s evolving career, as he continues to gather experience and showcase his talents across different leagues.
This move is seen as a strategic step for Iling Jr., providing him with an opportunity to further develop his game in England’s second tier, where competition is fierce and opportunities to stand out abound.
According to a source close to the club, “Iling Jr.’s time in Bologna was valuable, and he leaves with both experience and a positive impression.”
