Aston Villa's new signing Samuel Iling-Junior is reportedly set to leave the Premier League club immediately to join Serie A side Bologna.
After a stunning campaign last season which saw them qualify for the Champions League for the first time since the 1980s, Aston Villa will need to brace themselves to face a line-up that matches Europe's top flight.
Unai Emery has made some efforts in the summer transfer window to bring in players to help strengthen his squad with the likes of Andre Onana joining Everton.
But the Spanish manager has also lost his best player in Douglas Luiz who has joined Italian giants Juventus on a fee-and-player deal.
The two players who joined the English club in exchange for Brazilian player Enzo Barrenechea and Iling-Junior who has won.
Now according to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio, the latter will leave the club on a loan deal to return to Italy with Champions League side Bologna.
