Southampton have reportedly had a bid of around £12.8million for Stefano Sturaro rejected.

Southampton have long been linked with Sturaro and the Saints have recently revived their attempts to sign the 23-year-old.

According to recent reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, Southampton had placed a £12.8m for the young midfielder but Juventus have a higher valuation of the player and have thus rejected the offer from the Premier League side.
