Southampton will have to wait until the end of the season to make a move for Atalanta midfielder Dejan Kulusevski.
According to FC Inter News, via Sport Witness, Atalanta will not sell Kulusevski until the end of the campaign – at least.
The report claims that is due to the player wanting to see out the rest of the season at Parma, where he is currently on loan.
Manchester United, Inter and Arsenal are also said to be interested in the attacking midfielder.

Given the reported money involved, €18m, it seems as though this deal would rely on Southampton staying in the Premier League. If they are relegated, it is unlikely that they would be able to pay that amount of money for the playmaker – or that he would want to join the club over the likes of United, Arsenal and Inter.
He has impressed for Parma in the Serie A and already racked up two goals and five assists from midfield, attracting interest from across Europe. If Southampton are able to avoid relegation he could be a top signing, given that he is only 19 and already catching the eye in the Serie A for Parma.
