La Liga side Valencia are reportedly in talks to sign Southampton midfielder Ibrahima Diallo.
The report comes from French outlet L’Equipe, who claim the clubs are currently negotiating a loan deal for the 23-year-old.
The story claims Valencia have been in talks for the signing for ‘several days’. The point here is that even though the Spanish club want a loan, Southampton would rather let the player go for good.
The outlet claims that Diallo is keen on ‘evolving’, and for that to happen, he wants to join a club where he’ll have ‘a lot of playing time’.
The midfielder joined Southampton in a €12m move from Stade Brestois a couple of seasons ago. He’s not getting a lot of playing time with the Saints, especially after spending so much time on the bench in the second half of last season.
Despite claiming the St. Mary’s side want a sale, L’Equipe don’t mention how much they demand for the transfer.
