Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has no problem with Adam Lallana over his move to Liverpool.
Lallana faces a hate-filled reception from Saints fans when he returns to St Mary's tomorrow for the first time since his acrimonious £25m summer move.
But manager Koeman said: "He chose to change clubs after being given a good opportunity.
"We know our position. If clubs like Liverpool come in it is always difficult to keep that kind of player. They want to play in the Champions League, it has always happened."
