It has finally been confirmed that the long awaited return of midfielder Ovie Ejaria will no longer happen after his contract with Reading FC was terminated by mutual consent. Ejaria was the last big earner at the club after being signed for 3.5 million pounds from Liverpool in August 2020. His departure means Reading's current first team has attracted no transfer fees. Ejaria hugely impressed on loan on his first arrival in January 2019, which led to a loan extension and then a permanent signing. His form then dipped before he was dropped from the team amid rumours of unknown injuries, making just 8 appearances for the Royals last season and failing to get involved in League One. Ejaria was due to leave in the summer anyway, but the early end to his contract is expected to save the club some money and leave Ejaria free to re-start his career at another club.
