Just 13 minutes after entering the game against Liverpool at Villa Park on May 13, the Italian was replaced due to an injury.
His loan from Galatasaray terminated at the sound of full time versus Crystal Palace, marking a tragic end to his stay at the club.
Podcaster Bracey from Villa, who has been on Claret & Blue, speculated that his contract would have a buyout option, but he doesn’t see him coming back.
“He had a slow start but he did score a couple of important goals and he did offer a bit of depth there,” Bracey remarked in an exclusive interview with Villa News. He is obviously devastated that he will not be competing in the Euros.“I’ve seen lots of discussion about an option to buy being mandatory if he played a set amount of gamesHe is another guy who we won’t see every week, but when he entered the game, he briefly created mayhem. He took some time to get comfortable during the loan phase, so I’m sure he’s frustrated.It has to do with how the organization views his loan period and determines if they want him to stay with the team in the future.”If there’s any truth to that, I don’t think we’ll see Zaniolo again until that buy option becomes mandatory.”
To be honest, he didn’t have a great experience in B6, as seen by his two goals in 25 [FotMob] appearances for the Villans.
Zaniolo’s lack of judgment has occasionally angered supporters by causing him to make poor choices and receive seven yellow cards in 830 minutes.
He was brought in as a second striker or an offensive wide midfielder, but he excelled in a different capacity.
He was just outstanding defensively against Arsenal at the Emirates, which eventually enabled Villa to win 2-0.
