Anyone seen what sort of fee might be involved here ? 

They signed him in January for £11m from Salzburg, so I suspect this would be a loan with an obligation on promotion or a straight loan if they just intend to protect his value and not commit strongly either way on him yet

From the limited articles available it seems they need/want to sell to raise funds for their new manager to buy a striker. If so, it seems unlikely Lazio will be keen on a loan with either an option or obligation, they want the £now.

But if the other clubs mentioned are Moscow Spartak and Red Star Belgrade what sort of sums are they able to throw at it ? No idea how flush either are

Red Star's club record transfer was approx. £4.7m a couple of years ago

More likely to go Fulham or Forest than Benfica. 

But the noise they are making is most unwelcome.

Ultimately it is just noise. Was never a serious bid and his agent will know that. They just did it to flush out the sale of the Australian CB.

Worked a treat.

Can't see us signing Ratkov unless BBD, Downs and Archer are all moved on, big ask to find takers for all 3

Who was the last player we got from Everton?

 

 

are you suggesting another of ours is heading to them? Scienza perhaps?

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

Ratkov has already said that he doesn't want to come to Southampton.
