As per journalist Florian Plettenberg, Bundesliga side Leipzig has offered €30M for Southampton star Tyler Dibling. But the Saints are in no hurry, considering the prodigy's transfer demand.
In an otherwise uninspiring season for Southampton, their biggest positive has been teenage sensation Tyler Dibling.
Despite his debut season with the first team, Dibling is already one of the Saints' best players. Be it scoring goals, curating chances, or motivating the unit, Dibling has stood exceptional in all aspects.
In fact, had it not been for his absence, the Saints might have completed a heroic comeback against Nottingham, recently. To have built such repute at 18 is phenomenal, making Dibling a generational talent.
Understandably, with the transfer window on, the English prodigy is attracting many European giants.
Recently, journalist Florian Plettenberg updated about a potential offer for Dibling, saying, "Half of Europe is chasing the 18-year-old super talent from Southampton. RB Leipzig are prepared to pay 30 million euros for the versatile winger. "
However, Southampton's stance on a potential move for Dibling seems quite strong.
Certainly, €30M bid, that too from Bundesliga's talent factory, Leipzig is an interesting deal. Having previously groomed talents like Dani Olmo and Josko Gvardiol, the club can reproduce the same results with Dibling.
But, being aware of the overwhelmingly high transfer interest in him, the Saints expect an even higher offer for the 18-year-old.
As per Plettenberg: "Southampton, however, demands much more, partly because Tottenham and other clubs from the Premier League are heavily involved in the race."
However, frankly speaking, Tyler Dibling's Southampton future looks certain, at least shortly. Dibling has an active contract with the Saints club till 2027, and the club might not part ways with him, given his potential.
Still, circumstances could be different, in case a European side is ready to break the bank for him. Only time will tell, what would happen, but certainly, Dibling's future is one to watch for all football fans.
