Graziano Pelle could be set for a return to his home country, reports the Daily Mail .
Pelle’s contract lasts only a further 18 months, and Saints are in no hurry to extend it. He has fallen out of favour in recent weeks, with injury meaning he lost his starting place, then the impressive form of Irish international Shane Long further preventing him from getting action. With the £4m purchase of Charlie Austin, Pelle is now the third choice striker at the club.
Pelle himself is thought to be keen on a return to Italy, and Italian giants Juventus and Lazio are both believed to be interested in the Italian international.
Pelle signed for Southampton in July 2014 from Feyenoord for a fee thought to be in the region of £8m. In his time on the South coast, he has racked up 67 appearances, and bagged himself a total of 25 goals.
