Southampton would consider selling Tyler Dibling for a lower price than previously reported with Manchester United and several other Premier League clubs interested in the talented young attacker this summer.
Dibling, 19, was one of the few shining lights in a turbulent 2024-25 campaign for the Saints, who were relegated with just 12 points. And, naturally, interest in the England youth international has been rife from clubs who are eager to keep the fleet-footed teenager in the top-flight.
It was suggested amid rumours of interest from the Premier League's big boys that Southampton would demand a staggering £100million for their homegrown star.
But it has now emerged, via Sky Germany, that Dibling would be available for a sum between €55million (£47m) and €65m (£56m) - a significantly lower amount than previously claimed.
United are said to be one of four Premier League clubs courting Dibling this summer, though Southampton have not received any 'concrete' approaches for the youngster.
There has been plenty of inquiries from interested parties and Tottenham are another club who have been credited with an interest in the youngster in the past. They are now under new manager with Thomas Frank at the helm and seeking quality reinforcements for the upcoming season, where they will return to the Champions League.
West Ham and Nottingham Forest are the two other teams who hold a keen interest in Dibling. The latter have just sanctioned the £55m sale of Anthony Elanga, who is poised to join Newcastle.
Intriguingly, Tim Steidten, West Ham's former technical director, sang Dibling's praises while speaking to the same outlet.

Steidten feels Dibling is destined to join a Premier League club, rather than a team in a different European league, due to the financial demands of Southampton.
He said: “He is an outstanding player – with that street football mentality, that special dynamism. He is a player who can suddenly stop, turn, and accelerate again. His first touch is exceptional. He has immense potential.
“I believe he will end up being too expensive for a German club, which is why I think he will move within England.”
