Manchester City Linked With Alderweireld
Thursday, 19th Feb 2015 16:34

Saints may face competition in the summer to bring Toby Alderweireld to St Mary's permanently.

latest reports in the media suggest that Manchester City are interested in signing Saints on loan defender Toby Alderweireld in the summer.

Whilst most of these reports are more speculation than substance the worry is that parent club Athletico Madrid may prefer to pay Saints £1.5 million to remove the clause that we can sign him for £6.8 million and then try to start a bidding war for the Belgium defender.

Key though will be where Saints finish at the end of the season and Alderweireld may prefer to stay at St Mary's if Saints are in one of the European competitions rather than go to the likes of Manchester City where his first team place will be far from guaranteed and he may find himself merely exchanging one place on the bench at Athletico Madrid for another in Manchester.
