According to the latest press reports Turkish club Galatasaray are set to bid for a member of the Saints midfield.
Galatasaray are about to mount a bid for Saints midfielder Jordy Clasie according to media outlet Fotospor.
The Turkish club have seemingly failed in their bid for Liverpool midfielder Lucas leiva and are now set to turn their attentions to Clasie.
The Dutch midfielder was an unused substitute for the opening game against Watford which would appear to leave him fifth in the pecking order for three central midfield places.
Ronald Koeman was a confirmed admirer of Clasie but whether Claude Puel has the same opinion is yet to be seen.
Clasie had a mixed season last year, an injury in the first competitive game of the season against Vitesse at St Mary's meant that he did not have a full pre season and was always playing catch up, however in the second half he began to show why Koeman rated him so highly.
Galatasaray however are seemingly well short of Saints valuation of the player, Fotospor claim that they are willing to bid £3 million which is way short of the £8 million that Saints paid just over a year ago.
That could open the door for Everton to pop in a bid, they have the money and Koeman would be keen to be reunited with his protegy, in today's inflated market Saints would be looking to make a profit on Clasie and the Toffee's have the cash.
From a Saints perspective I personally would rather see him stay at the club, he is a quick passer of the ball and would perhaps suit Puel's system.
