Southampton defenders targeted in multiple transfer negotiations

Several football clubs are actively involved in transfer negotiations involving Southampton defenders. Benfica has reportedly made an initial offer of 20 million euros for Southampton center-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis, but the English club has rejected the bid. Southampton is seeking a figure closer to 30 million euros for the 24-year-old, who is under contract until 2028.

Simultaneously, Southampton and Sheffield United are monitoring Anel Ahmedhodžić, the 27-year-old Bosnian international currently playing for Feyenoord. Reports indicate that Southampton has made initial contact regarding the defender, while Sheffield United is also interested in a potential return for the player, who previously made over 100 appearances for the club.
