Following a series of injuries and his inability to break into the first team, Serie A side, Bologna have loaned off midfielder Kingsley Michael.
Michael spent a season-long loan contract for the rest of the 2022-23 campaign at Austrian side SV Ried.
The deal was announced, Tuesday, and the 22-year-old has been unveiled.
“Due to the injuries in the past few weeks, we had to take action, especially in central midfield,” Sporting director, Thomas Reicheltshammer said.
“We deliberately took our time in our search to find a player who fits our requirements profile. We think we’ve found that type of player in Kingsley Michael.
“He is dynamic and aggressive in duels. It’s a win-win situation for both Bologna and us. Kingsley Michael gets game practice with us, we get a very good player.”
Meanwhile, the move to Austria is the 22 year-old’s fourth loan deal since joining Bologna in 2018.
Last season, during a Serie A game – in one of only two league appearances – for the club, he suffered a Fibula Fracture, which ruled him out for the entire campaign.
