Mario Lemina

A report from Italian outlet tuttomercatoweb.com says that Serie A outfit Atalanta have had a bid rejected for Lemina recently.

The Gabon international struggled with injury in the 2018/19 season but links of a move away still caused some raised eyebrows.

A report from the Telegraph recently named Lemina as one of many players who Saints were willing to let go this summer.

However, they are said to be sticking to their asking price of £16m for the 25-year-old.
