The Southampton striker has been linked with an exit from St Mary’s.
According to a report from Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato, Southampton striker Manolo Gabbiadini’s agent Silvio Pagliari is in England to hold talks with the club regarding his client’s future, with up to five teams on the continent thought to be interested in signing the Italian.
The 27-year-old joined the Saints from Napoli in January 2017, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £14.6 million, but he has failed to establish himself on the south coast, scoring just 12 goals in 60 appearances in all competitions.
Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhüttl is rumoured to be keen to freshen up his options in the final third, and Gabbiadini seems to be the one who will be sacrificed.
Calcio Mercato claims that the striker’s agent has flown to London in order to undertake showdown talks with the Saints’ board regarding his client’s future.
The Italian publication claims that AC Milan, Real Betis, Fenerbahce, CSKA Moscow and Spartak Moscow are all interested in signing Gabbiadini.
According to Goal in Italy, Southampton wants around £11.7 million for the 27-year-old, and if they manage to recoup somewhere in the region of that asking price, it would have to be considered as good business from the Saints, considering how poor the Italian has been this season.
