Southampton star Jan Bednarek is suddenly at the centre of departure speculations and the fans might have already recognized which club is involved behind the scenes.

Will Still's actions have officially confirmed that Jan Bednarek's Southampton days are numbered, which was something fans could spot from a distance. No doubt, the 29-year-old was average last season, but let's not act like he should be top of the unwanted exit list.

Yet, tough decisions must be made when other subpar performers are still lingering within the roster for the time being. And don't take it lightly, Bednarek's transfer statement could drop before July ends.

As pointed by Saints Extra, the Poland starter hasn't stopped obsessing over European competitiveness which is a bold ask, to put it gently. After all, relegated players find it hard to have an ambitious suitor banking on them but the same isn't true for Southampton fans guessing which club that may be.

Roma might finally get their hands on Jan Bednarek

Skipping aside the guess work, Italian club Roma could be that interested outfit and that's not solely down to their failed January offer. In fact, it's a mix of multiple factors aligning for Bednarek's arrival in Serie A.

In recent weeks, many of his teammates have jetted off for the Italian top-flight, and that will have sparked optimism in Bednarek's mind too. Agreed, there may be talking points as to why only Roma but to understand that, let's deep dive into their most recent transfer dealings.

An Evan Ferguson loan, when considering the challenge of beating English sides to the Premier League's talent pool. Further, they sold Enzo Le Fee to newcomers Sunderland meaning they won't have reservations about finalizing deals in the English second-tier.

Regardless, things might not pan out this way because it's football. But ideally, let's hope the asking price stays close to what was floated in the winter window.
