Southampton wants a staggering £100 million or more to sell top talent Tyler Dibling in the summer with a host of top clubs interested.
According to The Telegraph, Southampton are set to demand a staggering fee of at least £100 million to sell Tyler Dibling in the summer. The Saints are on the brink of relegation and would like to cash in on their prodigious talent with the likes of Tottenham, Manchester United and Manchester City keen.
Southampton have had a terrible season, which could end up being one of the worst in their English top-flight history are they are on the brink of relegation. Going back to the Championship would certainly result in them losing some of their current first-team stars who would not want to play in the second tier, with Tyler Dibling being one of them.
From Southampton’s perspective, Dibling is the kind of player who can be a difference-maker in the Championship and is probably crucial to their chances of making a swift return to the Premier League. However, if the final solution dictates a sale of the 19-year-old prodigy, then the Saints will demand a staggering fee.
The main story here is about Southampton wanting at least £100 million to sell Dibling in the summer, which will have stunned a few of the attacker’s suitors. Tottenham had seen themselves as the front runners not so long ago, while the likes of Manchester United are also interested in the young winger.
The report states that Southamton’s valuation is in line with how Aston Villa sold Jack Grealish. Incidentally, Manchester City are in the mix for Dibling, which could become a problem for the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United in the race.
Tyler Dibling to leave Southampton?
Dibling has been the rare bright spark in this otherwise hapless Southampton side this season. While his output does not represent or justify the Saints’ £100 million asking price, his overall influence in that team at that age has been quite sensational.
Premier League clubs like Manchester United, Tottenham or Manchester City aren’t alone in the race as there are teams like Bayern Munich are also interested in Dibling. With the 19-year-old prodigy’s contract running out in 2027, the summer might be the best chance for Southampton to sell, although none of the interested clubs are likely to cave into their demands and pay anywhere close to £100 million.
