Southampton have increased Kamaldeen Sulemana's demanding price to €20m which brings them closer to breaking even on the winger's transfer.
Admit it or not, but Southampton's 2025/26 Championship schedule has got fans worried for Will Still's English start. While it's over a month left in the season opener, the fans already fear not to make a mistake in the initial important games.
Thankfully, amidst this tension buildup, a positive update has come to the supporters' rescue. And while the club hopes to avoid a blunder next season, they are en route to get relieved of their biggest mistake soon.
As many might have guessed, it's for blistering news in the notorious Kamaldeen Sulemana transfer saga.
In case you remember, not long ago, Southampton were let down by Atalanta as they barged in with a £10m offer for Sulemana. But while negotiations stalled then, the recent activity by Ivan Juric's camp would surely elevate St. Mary's morale.

That's because not only have the transfer talks re-began but at improved scenarios for Southampton. As per a recent Atalanta BC News report, the Saints demand a €20m exit for Sulemana and the Italian club may feel willing to buy in at that tag price.
Honestly, going by the general notion, any departure worth over the initial £12.5m tipped fee would fall in Southampton's favour. But obviously the more over this, the better.
Well, if the Saints convince Atalanta for anywhere in the region of this rumoured negotiation, they are in for a massive transfer win. Interestingly, not only the club can minimise their losses on Sulemana's €25m purchase but also undo most of their previous transfer blunders as they enter a new Will Still era.
Summing up the scenario, Southampton are just a green light away from completing one of their most anticipated transfers after Paul Onuachu. Well, some may miss the duo next season, but maybe it's calling for a new dawn with the beginning of Still's tenure.
