They say, he says, who says, there are a lot of conflicting reports going around at present, here we take a look at just who is leaving St Mary's and where they are going, as a lot of words are spoken, but little is happening.

There is a lot of rumour and counter rumour going around at the moment, on Monday it was claimed that Carlos Alcaraz was in Italy tying up the loose ends of his transfer to Napoli, only for pictures of the player to emerge of him training at Staplewood that afternoon, this highlights the absurdity of the reporting on a transfer window, one report can say one thing whilst another completely the opposite.

On the Alcaraz front though the player himself has said the right words in that he is happy to stay at St Mary's and would only move if the deal favours Southampton, his agent is saying the something different.

footitalia.com report that the players agent is saying his client is "Leaning towards Napoli"

Speaking with Radio CRC, agent Sebastian Lopez confirmed the players desire to make the switch to Naples this summer:

Or Did he !

“Is Alcaraz waiting to receive some offer from Italy while on holiday? He is training on these vacations to make himself at his best for the upcoming season. We are waiting and who knows maybe this call will come from Italy.”

“Alcaraz like Lobotka? Let’s say the guy plays in midfield, but he has a strong offensive proclivity. This year he played as a second-striker as well.

“Alcaraz is an Argentine and as for all Argentines, Napoli means Maradona. Right now there is a strong motivation and we hope that these hopes can materialize. Last season there was interest from Napoli, this season there has been no official contact with the Azzurri management. There is a strong inclination for Napoli and we remain waiting. As of today I cannot confirm the negotiation, we will understand shortly how the soccer market will develop.”

So the agent did not suggest that Alcaraz would be joining Napoli, only that he hoped that the Italian club would make an approach, this was not the concrete transfer rumour that it initially looked, but the players agent trying to push his client into the transfer radar.

Another will he won't he situation is Romeo Lavia, depending on whom you believe, Lavia is about to sign for Liverpool or the Merseyside club have pulled out of the race.

At 10 am this morning Caught Offside citing the Daily Mail claimed that Liverpool were about to launch their bid.

However 20 minutes later Football365 were saying that Jurgen Klopp now has no gap to fill in the midfield.

Some reports also suggest that Lavia favours Arsenal over Liverpool.

So who do you believe ?

Tino Livramento is another on/off transfer as mentioned on this site yesterday, depending on which report your read, Newcastle are about to sign Tino or they are about to pull out and now Chelsea are the favourites although it is Newcastle who the player himself would prefer to join.

TheBootRoom are one of the sites saying this, although they are not the only ones, certainly Livramento would have a better chance of getting into Newcastle's first team than Chelsea's although it seems that after buying him, the Blues would lend him back to us.

So despite the rumour mill being full of claims that these three and several others are about to leave St Mary's, there is little concrete evidence other than report after report some more credible than others and some less so, that make it seem that the transfer is imminent.

With around 15 players potentially leaving Southampton FC this summer it is going to be a busy couple of months.
