Southampton could capitalise on interest in one of their most valuable assets this summer, with one of the conventional ‘Big Six’ interested.
Southampton have made a strong start to their summer business, with Taylor Harwood-Bellis signing permanently and Adam Lallana joining on a free transfer.
The club have also confirmed the signing of 17-year-old Japanese striker Rento Takaoka who will join once he turns 18 in March 2025.
However, a number of players could head out the exit door this summer to free up space in the squad and raise funds and one player who could leave is Carlos Alcaraz.
Tottenham Hotspur ‘keen’ on Southampton’s Carlos Alcaraz
Southampton spent £12 million to sign Alcaraz from Racing Club in January 2023 and he was one of the club’s best players in the second half of the season despite relegation and the fact he was just 20 at the time.
Well-liked amongst the St Mary’s faithful, it was unfortunate for Alcaraz that manager Russell Martin did not seem to feel he fit his style of play and in January the Argentine secured a surprise loan to Juventus.
The loan deal included a reported option to buy of around £38 million, but after failing to impress in Italy it looks unlikely that they will be taking up that option.
