With Southampton preparing for the Premier League, the Saints have reportedly made their first bid to secure a potential replacement for out-of-contract forward Che Adams this summer.
As things stand, Adams is expected to quit St Mary’s upon the expiry of his present term at the end of the month. The Scot is on pace to leave having guided his side back into the Premier League with 15 goals and four assists in the Championship last season to sum up the massive hole that Russell Martin appears likely to be left charged with filling within his squad this summer.
Nonetheless, the plan seems to be out with the old and in with the new in the coming months, with rumours already linking Southampton with efforts to sign Ben Brereton Diaz and now Jeronimo Domina.
According to Cesar Luis Merlo, Southampton have made their initial offer to sign Domina, but saw that offer rejected by Union Santa Fe with negotiations anticipated to continue for the 18-year-old striker.
Possibly one for the future, Domina can join the likes of Moises Caicedo, Julian Alvarez and Alexis Mac Allister when it comes to swapping South America for the Premier League, with the intention to follow their paths of success if he completes a move to Southampton this summer.
Of course, adding established Premier League players is usually the way forward for newly-promoted sides, but welcoming a future star might go a long way in goals beyond that at St Mary’s. Now that they’re in the top flight, the aim should not only be to survive, but to advance beyond a side battling relegation.
