Southampton's genius Dibling intervention tipped to meet former transfer demands | OneFootball

Recently, Southampton raised Tyler Dibling's asking price to a stupendous £100m. But, as is tipped now, it was a Saints move to attract somewhat better offers than their £55m January ask.

Celebrate Southampton fans, our biggest mood refresher this season, the transfer window is approaching faster than expected. And what makes it enthralling is the club's preparations for it.

Now, it may sound surprising, but don't you feel Southampton has been brilliant during this pre-window timeline? Lately, the club's decisions have been bold and decisive, even if controversial.

Take, for instance, Paul Onuachu's future decision, or practically giving up after realizing Walker-Peters' done-and-dusted situation.

To top it off, comes Southampton's latest reveal regarding Tyler Dibling's price hike.

In case you don't know, the club recently reclarified Dibling's valuation, stating a £100m demand for the teenager. Needless to say, this has split opinions across the footballing world.

While the Saints have their own reasons to support this ask, the potential suitors can't be blamed for backing off either.

What's interesting, still? Southampton's skyrocketing demand can strategically turn out to be a masterstroke now.

This is because as per TeamTalk, the Saints' £100m demand is not a rigid figure, but rather an overview figure. In reality, the club would easily be willing to entertain anything valued above their January ask price for Tyler Dibling.

Southampton's brilliant Dibling call to cater to multiple objectives

Notably, while through this announcement, Southampton's main aim is to drive offers higher than the current bids, there's an additional incentive hidden as well.

Keeping biases aside, all Southampton fans would agree Tyler Dibling's recent form hasn't been top-notch. Additionally, it’s been months since he last found the net.

Interestingly, still, this demand reveal has kept the Dibling transfer hype intact if not increased, despite the player's recent struggle.

Well, we all have been quite critical of Southampton's ongoing season, but we must praise them where it's due. Positively, the club's Tyler Dibling transfer project is being driven well.

Now, let’s hope the Saints reap the rewards of their recent efforts.
