Jose Fonte could be on his way out of Southampton this month after he recently lodged a transfer request, claims Press Association Sport.
Southampton fans, as well as their rivals, have had their say on the dramatic development, which has left everyone wondering where the Portugal international could go next.
There has been conflicting reports about the defender’s contract situation at St Mary’s, with the man himself recently admitting that the club were not offering him a new deal, while the club have reportedly stated otherwise.
According to PA Sport, Southampton say that a 12-month extension was on offer to Fonte, but he decided not to sign on the dotted line.

Considering that Fonte has been at Southampton for the past six years, it is understandable that some fans are sad to see the centre-back possibly leave in this manner.
It remains to be seen where the Euro 2016 winner will end up this month, but this latest development has sparked conversation on social media.
