SOUTHAMPTON’S impending relegation to the Championship is set to spark a mass exodus from the South Coast this summer.
While the Saints have slapped a £100million valuation on teenage starlet Tyler Dibling, that fanciful figure is unlikely to deter his long list of suitors, who believe a deal could be struck for a more realistic price.
Tottenham, Manchester City, Manchester United and RB Leipzig are among his admirers, but Liverpool and Newcastle have also scouted the attacker, 19.
Meanwhile, Napoli are showing interest in Japanese right-back Yukinari Sugawara and Juventus have also watched Mateus Fernandes in recent months. Striker Paul Onuachu is being lined up for a return to Turkey with former club Trabzonspor still open to re-signing the giant Nigerian.
Right-back Kyle Walker-Peters is set to become a free agent on June 30 and is in line to seal an immediate return to the Premier League despite interest from Galatasaray in January.
Arsenal also stand to profit if Aaron Ramsdale switches clubs for the second consecutive summer as they negotiated a sell-on clause when the goalkeeper moved to St Mary’s.
Head coach Ivan Juric is expected to depart his role at the end of the season, with Sheffield Wednesday’s Danny Rohl and Strasbourg’s Liam Rosenior both in the frame for his job.

Manchester United’s pursuit of young talent has led them to the doorstep of Southampton’s prized gem, Tyler Dibling.
The 19-year-old midfielder has piqued the interest of several top clubs, including Tottenham, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich, all of whom have scouted the England Under-19 international this season.
Despite Southampton’s grim position near the bottom of the Premier League, Tyler Dibling has emerged as one of the bright spots in a difficult campaign.
His performances, scoring four goals and providing two assists, have earned him significant attention from major clubs looking to secure his signature in the summer transfer window.
United are reportedly keen to add Dibling to their ranks, with the club viewing the midfielder as a key piece in their future midfield plans.
However, their pursuit won’t come cheap.
Southampton have made it clear that they will demand a hefty fee for the teenager, with the club reportedly valuing him at over £100 million, as per The Telegraph.
This staggering price tag has caused frustration among potential suitors, who feel it may be an unrealistic valuation for a player with limited Premier League experience.
The young Englishman’s versatility, intelligence on the ball, and technical ability have made him a highly sought-after prospect, but Southampton’s stance on his transfer fee could cause some potential suitors to reconsider.
Despite his relatively short time in top-flight football, having made just 25 appearances for the Saints, Tyler Dibling has already demonstrated his potential to thrive at the highest level.
Southampton’s head coach, Ivan Juric, has praised Dibling as a player with “incredible potential,” hinting that he could become one of the league’s brightest stars in the future.
United, along with the other interested parties, will have to decide if they are willing to meet Southampton’s sky-high demands for a player still in the early stages of his career.
With Southampton fighting relegation, the club may be forced to sell their star asset, but the question remains whether anyone is willing to pay the asking price.
