Cardiff must up bid for Southampton defender Fonte

Cardiff City have been told to up their bid for Southampton defender Jose Fonte.

The Daily Mail says Cardiff will need to bid £5m to prise Fonte from Southampton.

The Bluebirds have already had two bids turned down for the 30-year-old this summer, the latest a £3.25m bid.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to fill the void left by Steven Caulker's departure, who joined QPR earlier this week for £8million, as quickly as possible and sees Fonte as the ideal replacement.
