“Lainer is no longer transferable,” Cristoph Freund told Corriere dello Sport.

“We understand that this is perhaps a unique occasion in his career, but it would be almost impossible for us to find a replacement.”

The 25-year-old was a part of the side who reached the Europa League semi-final, beating Lazio on the way before losing to Olympique Marseille.
