Goztepe's Romulo selling saga has taken a surprise Premier League turn and Southampton fans will want them to influence English football's biggest transfer.
Now that Goztepe's record sale aspirations have surfaced, Southampton fans will be all ears for the names that might meet their sister club's desires. And they might be playing Turkish football, yet offers can be vast and varying, from Championship to Champions League competitors, because that's the wide net which comes with mega-money moves.
The same holds true for a Premier League move, which can also come into play. Still, don't expect Romulo to go making waves in the top 10 expensive player charts.
There's no need to overthink this one, but what's staggering is his summer swoop may plant the seeds for an all-time high English top-flight offer. Don't get it confused, a game of passing the baton involving multiple number nines is all that's required, and the Premier League will be all set to rewrite its transfer history.
Romulo can allow Liverpool's Alexander Isak desire to materialize
In his own words, Florian Plettenberg talked about the first of many such moves saying: "RB Leipzig have reached a verbal agreement with Brazilian striker Romulo. The 23 y/o is under contract with Göztepe until 2028."
Yes, the final step needs to be a mammoth paycheck from Liverpool for Alexander Isak and according to TalkSport's ranking, topping the currently leading signing is quite doable. But then, Newcastle would need something in return to give their Isak go-ahead, and Plettenberg later touched upon it as well.
While concluding his report, Plettenberg added: "Benjamin Sesko's future also remains open – as reported, Newcastle are in contact with him and his agent."
There you go, Southampton fans. Another quite pride Premier League moment is being linked with the Saints who were involved in the transfer of the league's best ever scorer.
