Southampton's move for Feyenoord striker Graziano Pelle has stalled.
The Daily Star says Ronald Koeman's bid to sign Pelle has stalled after refusing to meet Feyenoord's £9.5m asking price.
Saints have had an offer of £6.3m rejected for Italian Pelle, 28, who scored 52 goals in two seasons playing under Koeman at Feyenoord.
Pelle wants the Italian to replace former Saints talisman Rickie Lambert after his £4m move to Liverpool.
Pelle is desperate to join Koeman at St Mary's but Saints have told Feyenoord they will not increase their bid.
