Report: Southampton to be taken over by Chinese Bank

Might we be quickly approaching the day where Southampton aren’t forced to sell their best players (finally!)? According to the Daily Mail, it’s a very real possibility.

In the report, it states that Chinese bank- named CITC Securities- are preparing a move to buy the club at the end of this month. That’s just five days away, mind you, so this all could go down very quickly.

This club is seen as a very attractive place for new owners because of the success that they have achieved recently. And there is also the fact that they have continued to do it while often selling some of their best players year after year.

A list including Gareth Bale, Theo Walcott, Adam Lallana, and even more have departed over the last decade or so, and this move, rumored to be for 225 million pounds, could see them improve even more than they already are.

The Saints meet Manchester United at Wembley on Sunday in the EFL Cup final, and a victory there could see their stock go up even higher.
