Southampton are in negotiations with former Sheffield United attacker Che Adams over a new agreement – despite ties with Leeds United and Wolves.
The 27-year-old is out of contract this summer and talk over his future has persisted for months. Leeds have once again been linked with a bid for the former Blade, while Wolves and Everton have also been reported with interest.
Southampton have released their retained list, revealing conversations over a potential stay for Adams are underway. He is presently on international duty with Scotland.
Leeds have been connected with Adams on a number of occasions and sought him back in the 2019/20 season. However, a deal could not be done and the Whites instead sought to boost their frontline with the catastrophic acquisition of Jean-Kevin Augustin.
Adams concluded the 2023/24 campaign on a high, helping Southampton overcome Leeds in the Championship play-off final. He appeared from the bench at Wembley, concluding the season with a record of 17 goals in 46 games.
Former Leeds goalkeeper Alex McCarthy is also out of contract at St Mary’s this summer and Southampton have revealed negotiations are also underway with him. He has been linked with Liverpool, Newcastle United and Celtic.
In a statement, Southampton said: “Long-serving goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and striker Che Adams are also approaching the end of their contracts, with talks ongoing regarding potential new deals.”
