Manchester City prospect Romeo Lavia is in talks over a £10million move to Southampton.
Sportsmail reported earlier this month that the highly rated 18-year-old Belgian was a target for a number of clubs, but notably Southampton and Leeds United.
City were reluctant to let Lavia leave but will insert a buy back and sell-on clause for the teenager, who made his first-team bow in the Carabao Cup last season.
Lavia is yet to make a Premier League appearance for City, but made a single appearance in both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season, and was regularly part of Pep Guardiola's wider matchday squad.
