Jordy Clasie could be leaving Saints this summer , if Pule had stayed that would have been a certainty but will things change with a new manager or will he go, Arron takes a look.
The news Lazio are interested in signing Jordy Clasie isn’t anything new, the fact the Serie A club now appears to have bumped the Dutch midfielder to the top of their wishlist of potential replacements for Lucas Biglia should the Argentina international leave for AC Milan is however.
According to Il Messaggero, The Italian newspaper the midfielder is reportedly available on a loan with an option to buy of €10m.
If that is the case, then this means that Saints would make a profit on the 25-year-old, having bought him from Feyenoord for around to £8m back in the summer of 2015.
Once dubbed the ‘Dutch Xavi’, the Dutch midfielder hasn’t exactly lived up to those expectations, seeing his chances of first-team football blocked firstly by injury and then by the likes of Steven Davis and Oriol Romeu.
A lot will rest on the new manager, but if the Dutchman doesn’t fall into his plans, it might indeed be time for the club to cut their losses.
What do you think about the possibility of Clasie leaving Saints this summer? is it good or bad business for the club?
