Nathan Redmond hits Southampton exit doors after offers

Nathan Redmond looks set to leave Southampton after the Premier League club received offers for him from three sides in Turkey ahead of the Super Lig transfer window closing on Thursday, The Athletic understands.

Besiktas, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are all believed to have made official proposals to sign the 28-year-old winger on a permanent basis.

Bournemouth, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton are among the domestic rivals thought to have expressed an interest in Redmond prior to the English window shutting last week, but a move did not materialise and that encouraged the Turkish admirers to intensify their pursuits.

Conversations between those teams and Southampton are at an advanced stage, with Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men expected to receive a fee given Redmond is contracted until 2023.

All of the bidders are said to be offering Redmond lucrative deals and the decision is now in the hands of the England international.

Southampton are willing to grant Redmond an exit from St Mary’s on reasonable terms as a show of respect for his service and conduct since joining from Norwich City in 2016. They adopted a similar approach towards midfielder Oriol Romeu, who has joined Girona in Spain.

Besiktas have already recruited Dele Alli on loan from Everton this summer and they are currently being viewed as favourites for Redmond.

Redmond has made 195 appearances for Southampton since joining them in 2016. During that time, he has scored 21 goals.
