Atalanta have expressed interest in Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina.

TMW says Atalanta have asked Saints about taking Lemina on-loan for next season.

However, Southampton will only consider selling Lemina outright - for a price of €18m.

For their part, the Oribici are ready to try again.

Atalanta can tempt the former Juventus midfielder back to Italy with the offer of Champions League football.
