Southampton captain Jose Fonte hopes Toby Alderweireld can be convinced to stay.
The Belgian is on-loan from Atletico Madrid.
"It would be nice to keep Toby because he's a great player," Fonte told the Daily Echo. "He's been doing really well.
"But that's not something I can control and even the club can't even control because Atletico have all the cards.
"We'll see what happens, but we have to wait and see."
