Southampton may be forced to sell Danny Ings this summer with the club struggling to meet the striker's wage demands, manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has admitted.
The 28-year-old's contract, which is thought to be worth around £75,000 per week, is set to expire at the end of next season and the Saints are desperate to agree fresh terms with their leading goalscorer.
While Hasenhuttl remains hopeful of keeping Ings at the club, he insisted 'life will go on' if they are unable to negotiate a deal that suits both parties.
'We are in a situation where every club is struggling with finances,' said the Austrian, as quoted by The Mirror.
