Former Liverpool midfielder in discussions to join newly promoted Southampton

After Southampton earned promotion back to the Premier League, reports suggest that Adam Lallana is in negotiations with the Saints about making an unexpected comeback.

In the play-off finals, Russell Martin’s team defeated Leeds United 1-0 to regain promotion to the top division of English football.

The Saints secured their third victory against The Whites this season thanks to a strike from Adam Armstrong that was the game’s only goal.

The former midfielder for Southampton was present at Wembley to watch his old team win.

Lallana and Southampton are in talks.

The 36-year-old is currently in discussions about a possible comeback with the recently promoted club, according to The Telegraph.

Lallana would be available for a free transfer when his Brighton deal expires the following month.

During his four years at Brighton, he has been an important player of the squad.

The prospective comeback of the English midfielder presents an opportunity to mend fences with Southampton supporters.

A chance to mend ties with Saints supporters

Lallana, a graduate of Southampton’s academy, made 265 appearances in the past for the team, tallying 45 assists and 60 goals.

His departure from the team in 2014 to join Liverpool caused tension in his relationship with the Southampton supporters.

However, he can mend his bond with his boyhood club’s supporters by making a return. He will undoubtedly benefit the south coast squad in their debut season back in the Premier League by providing a plethora of leadership and experience.

The €100 million talent who wants to go to the Premier League has been discussed by Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United.

Antonio Silva, the wonderkid centre back for Benfica who is prioritising a move to the Premier League, has been in contact with Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United over his possible transfer.

Strong interest in Silva this summer has been reported to CaughtOffside by sources close to the negotiations. Benfica is eager to make a deal if they obtain €100 million for its star player, who would prefer to join a premier English team.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly also interested in the 20-year-old, but CaughtOffside knows that the majority of the teams are currently unwilling to pay Benfica’s €100 million asking price for the player.

Before Silva’s next destination is known, a number of issues need to be sorted. It is unclear if more discussions and negotiations will result in a lower fee, and Silva himself will want to make sure he plays frequently at his next club.

Silva transfer: What’s next for the Benfica defender?

If Silva is going to prioritise playing time, he might be better off picking Liverpool or Manchester United over Arsenal at this point, since Mikel Arteta already has one of the top defensive duos in Europe and England in Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba.

In contrast, Liverpool’s lack of consistency in the previous season may have cost them as their championship challenge faded towards the end of the campaign. Silva would be a great long-term successor for Virgil van Dijk, who is getting older.

While Silva is expected to be a key player if he joins, he will likely replace ageing stars like Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane, the latter of whom also has an expiring contract this summer. United, on the other hand, had a very bad season, finishing eighth in the table, and will undoubtedly want a major overhaul this summer.

The Portugal international will undoubtedly be tempted by Real Madrid and PSG as well, but it would be thrilling to watch him push himself by moving to the Premier League
