Southampton’s victory over Leeds United in the play-off final has changed everything for the club this summer.
Not only do the Saints’ resources benefit from being back in the Premier League, but they are also considerably more appealing to potential additions.
They’ll also need it, since Southampton are clearly determined to stay in the top flight indefinitely.
On that topic, the Saints receive good transfer news from Germany, notably the local Bremen edition of Bild newspaper.
They’re reporting on Southampton’s interest in Leo Bittencourt, with claims that they’ve been attempting to persuade him to leave Werder Bremen.
The 30-year-old played 30 games in various midfield spots last season, but he is no longer a guaranteed starter, making a move ‘a lot more plausible’ this summer.
Clemens Fritz, a club administrator, informed Bild that no one had approached them yet. But if something comes up that we need to discuss, we’ll sit down at the table.”
Southampton are thought to have made an enticing offer to the player, but there is no word on what Werder Bremen would require as a transfer fee.
