Southampton and Fulham are both reportedly interested in a deal to sign Rodrigo Battaglia this summer.
Team Talk claims that both Premier League sides are keen on the player, who could be available on a free transfer.
Battaglia, along with a number of his Sporting team-mates, are being linked with free transfers following recent events at the club.
Several players are looking to terminate their contract following an attack on the club’s training ground.
Rui Patricio has already left the club with a move to Premier League new boys Wolves thought to be imminent.
Gelson Martins is a target for Arsenal, while William Carvalho and Bas Dost are also expected to leave the club.
Battaglia has long been linked with a move to the Premier League after impressing with Sporting.
West Ham have been linked in the past and there is likely to be a wealth of interest in the player should he become available for nothing.
