Southampton have turned down an offer of £8.8m for Carlos Alcaraz but remain in talks with Racing Club.
Nathan Jones’s side have also had a £15m offer turned down by Lorient for striker Terem Moffi.
Southampton have had a rough patch so far this season and desperately need to turn things around.
Southampton have had an £8.8m offer turned down by Racing Club for midfielder Carlos Alcaraz
Alcaraz is a 20-year-old midfielder who mainly plays right in front of the current Racing Club defence.
The midfielder would be a perfect fit for Jones’ team, as the lack of midfielders at the club is a problem for Southampton.
Despite being so young, Alcaraz is already close to reaching 100 appearances for his team, which highlights his potential.
The possible signing of Moffi would be a solution to a different problem at Southampton.
The striker has been on fire for Lorient this season, scoring 10 goals in just 15 league games.
The Saints have struggled to score goals this season and Moffi could help Jones’ team in this department.

Southampton have only won three of their 18 league games and face a relegation battle in the second half of the season.
The Saints face Everton next in a crucial Premier League game at the bottom of the table.
The club’s fans are hoping there will be some added firepower by the time the relegation clash rolls around.
Nathan Jones has struggled so far at Southampton and needs to turn things around quickly.
