# Southampton: Nemanja Radonjic discusses future

**Southampton target Nemanja Radonjic has [told TuttoMercatoWeb](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/radonjic-non-fara-come-maxime-lopez-sassuolo-letto-su-internet-voglio-restare-all-om-1481184) that he will be staying at Marseille this January.**

### **Radonjic to stay in France**

The Saints were linked (*print version of the Daily Mirror, 3rd December, page 63*) with a move for the Serbia international last month, as were fellow Premier League outfit West Ham United.

However, amidst the reported interest in his services, the 24-year-old has revealed that he wants to stay in the south of France until at least the summer. He said:

> *“I heard of this interest on the internet but I have no intention of leaving Olympique Marseille. I have not had contact with other clubs and I am sure I will stay here. I want to stay at least until the summer and I am happy that the coach has given me more space in the last few races. “*

### **Perhaps for the best**

Valued at [£4.05m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nemanja-radonjic/marktwertverlauf/spieler/245078) (Transfermarkt), Radonjic certainly has plenty of interesting qualities that Ralph Hasenhuttl could put to good use at St. Mary’s Stadium. Marseille teammate Steve Mandanda has said that the winger has [“incredible speed”](https://www.chinadailyhk.com/articles/153/141/249/1575366528322.html), and he did find the back of the net [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nemanja-radonjic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/245078) times in 21 Ligue 1 matches last season.

He has also appeared in the Champions League this term, but he has managed just one strike in nine matches in the league. Having cost Marseille [£12m](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/01/12/i-will-stay-12m-man-has-no-intention-of-joining-southampton-or-west-ham/) back in 2018, and with [two years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nemanja-radonjic/profil/spieler/245078) left on his contract, it is unlikely L’OM would be willing to take a loss on his sale. Perhaps this knockback gives the Saints a chance to look elsewhere as they aim to boost their squad.
