Ravel Morrison is back training with Lazio in Rome after Birmingham City refused to pay his full salary during a loan spell.
The troubled English winger joined Lazio as a free agent in the summer of 2015, but made only eight competitive appearances for the club, playing 159 minutes of football.
He just returned from a six-month loan at QPR and had trained with Birmingham City, going on their pre-season tour, but is now back on Italian soil.
Ravel Morrison is back training with Lazio in Rome after Birmingham City refused to pay his full salary during a loan spell.
The troubled English winger joined Lazio as a free agent in the summer of 2015, but made only eight competitive appearances for the club, playing 159 minutes of football.
He just returned from a six-month loan at QPR and had trained with Birmingham City, going on their pre-season tour, but is now back on Italian soil.
“He came and trained for three or four weeks, a great attitude, he was not a minute’s problem,” said Birmingham manager Harry Redknapp.
“We offered his club to pay a part of his wages. That was the best we could do, I wasn’t prepared to pay all of his wages.
“We said ‘We will give you a bit towards them if you want to take it’.
“And at the moment they have not accepted what we offered. Ravel was good, he came in and worked hard but we are not prepared to pay all of his wages.
“If they want to lower the amount they are going to have to subsidise a big part of it.”
According to the Birmingham Mail, Lazio want significantly more than Birmingham’s offer to pay £3,000 per week towards his salary.
