Yep - certainly could see him in Italy. Pretty sure there was some talk of Roma in the past wanting him. 

Chelsea wanted £30m for him (I think that was the price agreed with Everton should they want him). Everton are not spending that. He's hardly played for them. Calvert Lewin also looks likely to depart, but these guys are too famous to not get interest from abroad. Bamford strikes me as being more likely, are perhaps exactly what we need...except the fact he's always injured.

Seeing as he won Preston's player of the year in the championship, I would imagine he'd fancy a go at the PL perhaps with one of the promoted clubs? You'd think there would be some interest at that level. If not, would be a good option for us, as Sugawara has been fucking shit so far. Also, if you want KWP mark II, then he's your man, as he's aonther skilful full back that can get out of tight spaces/keep possession. 

Some clips here, all be it from 2022

From the Sky Sports website:

Saints interested in CL right-back

Latest from Sky Sports News' Anthony Joseph:

Southampton are interested in Sturm Graz right-back Max Johnston. 

It’s understood that Saints have been watching the Scotland international very closely in the last couple of months. 

Several clubs from the Premier League, Championship and across Europe are monitoring Johnston’s situation, after impressive performances this season in the Champions League and Austrian Bundesliga. 

The 21-year-old has two years left on his contract with Sturm Graz and he is on the brink of winning a second successive league title with the club, since joining from Motherwell in July 2023. Sky Sports News understands Sturm Graz value the player at around £3m. 

Atalanta, Augsburg and Hamburg are among the interested clubs across Europe. 

Johnston has one goal and six assists this season and made his Scotland senior debut in March.

That’s all very well and good, but can he do it on a wet Wednesday night in Preston?
