Southampton‘s Jay Robinson has impressed in his ongoing loan spell at Monza. A permanent exit from St Mary’s is now gaining ground.
The Englishman reunited with Ivan Juric in the summer, with Monza not having any option to buy. This has allowed the midfielder to develop freely, as he has become a regular in the Serie A.
He has featured nine times under the Croatian, already finding the net twice and assisting once. This is the tally he had notched up in the entirety of the Championship in the 2025/26 season at Southampton.
Sport Witness have tracked how Inter Milan have scouted the teenager extensively. They have now developed a strategy to land the midfielder.
Valuation becoming clear
Tuttomercatoweb report that Inter are monitoring several young players for the future. But they have put special emphasis on the idea of signing the Southampton man, having been impressed by his quick rise in Italy.
The report notes that €10m is what the Nerazzurri will need to sign Robinson and they can make an attempt to sign him in January.
Their strategy is to reach an agreement with the Saints in January. Monza anyway have no control over affairs, as the player is only on a dry loan. They will happily let Inter hold negotiations, especially if they get the chance to keep him with themselves beyond January.
Inter won’t mind that, as they anyway don’t have a spot free for the talent this season. This could change next season, when departures can pave the way for Robinson, who will have a clearer pathway to the first-team.
Saints should demand big package
Before starring in Italy, the 19-year-old played 32 times for Southampton and four of those appearances came in the Premier League. Besides, Robinson’s current deal at the South Coast runs out in 2029, which should give the club greater control over a sale.
They should use that to demand a higher figure than €10m, which could easily go down as a bargain for Inter. On top of that, Southampton should secure a clause on the profit of any future sale.
Robinson has featured in only nine games and his numbers will easily go up. Southampton can use that to create an auction, especially as English clubs can also join the race for the talent.
