Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is expected to leave the relegated club this summer, with reports suggesting that long-time rivals Manchester United and Leeds are among those interested in the former England goalkeeper.<\/p>\n
Ramsdale<\/a><\/strong>, 26, moved to Southampton<\/strong><\/a> at the start of the season to enjoy an uptick in minutes after falling out of favour at Arsenal<\/strong><\/a>. He\u2019s made 24 appearances for the Saints but has been unable to prevent a swift return to the Championship.<\/p>\n Despite the team\u2019s struggles, his performances at St Mary\u2019s have been good enough to attract the attention of Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel, who included him in a provisional 26-man squad for the game against Albania. He was later cut.<\/p>\n With another disappointing season drawing to an end, Ramsdale is reportedly keen to remain in the Premier League \u2013 and a move to Man Utd could be on the cards, according to <\/a>The Sun<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>United aren\u2019t the only side showing an interest, with West Ham, Championship side Leeds Utd, and several clubs abroad monitoring his situation.<\/p>\n The Sheffield United academy product is understood to prefer staying in England, making a move abroad unlikely.<\/p>\n The club\u2019s goalkeeping situation has been a hot topic for two seasons now. After months of inconsistent form, Ruben Amorim<\/strong><\/a> decided to drop Andre Onana and give the gloves to Altay Bayindir on Sunday<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD NEWS ON F365\u2026 Bayindir\u2019s poor performance against Newcastle<\/strong><\/a> has heaped further pressure on the club, who may now feel they need to sign at least one goalkeeper in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n In the short term, all eyes will be on Amorim as he wrestles with whether to give Bayindir another chance in Thursday\u2019s Europa League second leg, but longer term, it seems Ramsdale is seen as a potential solution.<\/p>\n News of their interest will be particularly unwelcome at Elland Road, where old foes Leeds United<\/strong><\/a> have shortlisted Ramsdale as a potential upgrade should they seal promotion.<\/p>\n The Championship side are currently five points clear of third-place Sheffield United in the race for promotion with a far superior goal difference \u2013 a margin fans feel would be greater if it wasn\u2019t for the high-profile errors of goalkeeper Illan Meslier.<\/p>\n Like Onana<\/strong><\/a>, Meslier has found himself out of the team recently, replaced by Welsh international Karl Darlow. Further comparisons can be drawn to Man Utd<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s situation, as the Frenchman\u2019s poor performances, coupled with Daniel Farke\u2019s reluctance to play Darlow, could mean Leeds are in the market for two keepers.<\/p>\n The Saints will be hoping to recoup all of the \u00a325 million fee they paid for Ramsdale in 2024, though it remains to be seen if a relegation clause will allow him to leave in a cut-price deal.<\/p>\n With a potential transfer battle brewing off the pitch, Man Utd and Leeds are set to square off in a summer friendly in Stockholm in July \u2013 and, if Leeds seal promotion, they could renew rivalries in the Premier League next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is expected to leave the relegated club this summer, with reports suggesting that long-time…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21137,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[13647,748,393,163,4884,225,1860,2922,98,12,101,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-21136","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-aaron-ramsdale","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-front-page","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-home-page","14":"tag-leeds","15":"tag-leeds-united","16":"tag-manchester-united","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-premier-league","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114340304163296102","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21136"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21136\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
