Michael Folorunsho is currently one of the hottest names in Lazio’s transfer market. The Napoli midfielder, who grew up in Lazio’s youth academy, is keen on returning home.
However, an issue presents itself with the Over-21 rule. This complication is making the potential transfer tricky.
A source close to Folorunsho remarked, “He would love to come back, but the club needs to work around the Over-21 restriction.” The source was speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Lazio officials are working through several scenarios to ensure compliance with league regulations.
Napoli, on the other hand, is considering their options as Folorunsho’s departure is not yet certain.
A senior figure at Napoli expressed, “We understand his desire to return, but we’ll have to look at our squad depth before making a decision,” as reported by Sky Sports Italia.
It remains to be seen if both clubs can find a resolution to bring Folorunsho back to Lazio.
