Southampton player could be set for ‘sensational’ exit – Move may be little ambitious for buying club
Southampton defender Jan Bednarek has interest from France and Germany this month and could be set for a ‘sensational’ departure.
WP SportoweFakty and Sport-90 cover the player today and how there may be a small battle for his signature in the winter window.
Starting with the Polish press, they report that while Bednarek is fighting to get Southampton back into the Premier League at the first time of asking interest in him is growing.
According to their information, Stade Rennais are interested in the Polish international and he would be keen on the potential switch if it is offered to him.
He’s barely featured for them this season in the Championship and thus a ‘loan could be beneficial’ for him, particularly as he still aspires to be a part of the squad for the upcoming Olympics.
Thus, it would be a ‘mutually beneficial solution’ for all parties, including Southampton, who could temporarily get rid of a player they don’t seem to want at this moment in time.
The plan seems to be something of an overly optimistic one from Lille, though, particularly if they’re planning to sell Jonathan David and replace him with Mara.
David is no finished package by any means but his record of 65 goals and 11 assists in 159 games for the French side is something it seems Mara, given his performances over the last 18 months at Southampton, isn’t going to be able to replicate any time soon.
