Enzo Loiodice is coming to the end of his loan stint at Wolverhampton Wanderers and will return to parent club FCO Dijon on July 1 if his move isn’t made permanent. But what’s the current state of play?
As per David Ornstein of The Athletic, Wolves must make a decision on Loiodice’s contract before June 24. The Midlands outfit could extend his loan until the end of the revised season, trigger his buying option or let him return to the Stade Gaston Gérard.
Loiodice came to Wolves with an excellent reputation, has already trained with the first-team and has impressed for the U23s, so it looks likely that he’ll be signed permanently. The 19-year-old was a regular at Dijon before coming to England, making 21 Ligue 1 appearances, so he’s ahead in his development.
Loiodice had been on Wolves’ radar for a while and has been called “an experienced pro” by U23s coach James Collins. The midfielder played in Wolves’ Senior Challenge Cup win over Leamington Spa (February 12), 1-1 draw with Liverpool (February 17), Premier League Cup draw with Leeds United (February 21), Premier League Cup defeat to Derby County (February 26) and 3-2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur (March 2).
The 19-year-old has been a regular for the U23s while being praised for his performances, so it would be surprising if Wolves didn’t sign him this summer.
