Southampton have made an approach for the signing of Brazilian midfielder Wellington. Outlet UOL says Southampton are one of the clubs interested in the player. “We’re receiving many approaches for Wellington, we’ll decide soon”, said his agent Marcelo Robalino.
Wellington link sounds like agent talk. He has had bad cruciate ligament injuries in the past according to this article. Can't be bothered to check if true. His agent probably has seen the success of Ings and is touting Wellington to Saints https://www.hampshirelive.news/spor...mpton-transfer-news-wellington-brazil-4871829
Can we offer Walcott a contract in January if his deal expires with Everton in the summer? Perhaps a two year deal?
No. A club overseas can, but pre-contracts aren’t allowed if he’s registered to a team in the same country. Edit: of course we can talk to his agent and him about it plenty in the way that all transfers occur before bids are accepted etc. We just can’t officially sign and complete anything binding until July 1st when he becomes a free agent. If he got an attractive offer from Racing Club Minsk or what have you, he could sign that deal now and both parties would be stuck with it, no matter what occurred between now and summer.
And not even a top-half Championship side, but a side battling to avoid relegation to League 1. Oh, how the not-so-mighty have fallen.
