Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu has been linked away with a move to Spain with Celta Vigo, but it now looks like the club have moved on to other targets, as per Marca.
The report suggests that Celta are now looking at Cagliari midfielder Filip Bradaric, who has spent time on loan in Croatia with Hadjuk Split, is the man that the Spanish side will bring in as an alternative to Romeu.
Marca suggests that Romeu was a target for Southampton, but that the Saints were unwilling to let him go on a loan deal which is what the Spanish side wanted.
Celta were therefore unwilling to sign him on a permanent deal, something that was a big stumbling block in any potential transfer.
It has been reported, as per Dan Sheldon of the Southern Daily Echo, that the Saints also did not want to leave themselves short in midfield, something that selling Romeu would certainly do.
The Spaniard also played in the win over Crystal Palace, with several Saints fans praising the midfielder’s performance.
