Coventry City’s loanee, Luis Binks, has indicated his intention to depart from Bologna permanently this summer, according to CoventryLive. The 22-year-old defender arrived at Coventry City on loan in July last year and has since appeared in 23 matches across all competitions, with 18 in the Championship. With his loan spell ending soon, Binks faces an uncertain future as he is set to return to his parent club.

Binks, who still has two years left on his contract with Bologna, will require a transfer fee to be lured away from the Serie A club, leaving Bologna with a crucial decision to make regarding his next steps in the upcoming transfer window.

Manager of the Sky Blues, Mark Robins, expressed his interest in keeping tabs on Binks, stating, “He’s someone who we want to keep in touch with and see how things go. But that will come in the next bit, and depends on a number of factors,” as reported by CoventryLive.

The possibility of Binks being open to a move from Bologna could work in favor of Coventry City, provided they are eager to bring him back to England. His presence adds competition and depth to the defensive line under Robins and offers promise for future growth and development.

Having come through Tottenham Hotspur’s academy ranks and also represented the England youth teams, Binks made a move to Canada in 2020 to join Montreal Impact before catching Bologna’s attention. With 15 games played for Bologna over the last four years, Binks also had a loan stint at Como before his spell with Coventry City.

Following Coventry City’s loss in the playoff final last year, the club experienced a transition season at the CBS Arena. Although they fell short of the top six, they managed to reach the FA Cup semi-final. The squad introduced new players like Haji Wright and Ellis Simms to replace Viktor Gyokeres last season, hinting at more to come from the duo.

As Coventry City prepares to release their retained list, the future of players like Luis Binks remains to be seen amid the upcoming transfer window.
