Southampton Uphold £45 Million Price as Dibling Trains Away From First Team

Everton’s latest £40m offers fall short of Southampton’s valuation, prompting the Merseyside club to examine other right-wing targets under Financial Fair Play constraints

Overview

  • Southampton have rebuffed three bids topping £40m as they insist on £45m up front plus add-ons and a 25% sell-on clause.
  • Dibling is working in non-contact and fitness drills separate from the first team to protect against injury during the stalled negotiations.
  • The 19-year-old has privately asked to leave Southampton but has not submitted an official transfer request, leaving his future unresolved.
  • He scored four goals in 38 appearances across all competitions last season, showcasing his versatility and pace on the wing.
  • West Ham and Atlético Madrid are among the European clubs monitoring Dibling, adding pressure on both Everton and Southampton to strike a deal.
