Southampton encouraged to sway German giants into reciting relegation pattern | OneFootball

Southampton's Tyler Dibling is wanted by Bayern Munich and the Saints must convince them to repeat their trick of recruiting Premier League's relegated targets.

If there's been a single Southampton affair that has had the fans always involved this year, it's been Tyler Dibling's transfer saga. And why not? This saga has taken Southampton fans on an emotional rollercoaster.

While initially, all the St. Mary's faithful were reluctant to the move, now all those are stressed out about how to depart the 19-year-old.

Notably, all of this stems from Dibling’s decision to push for a summer transfer.

Now, don’t get me wrong. The issue isn’t finding a buyer, it’s ensuring Southampton gets their asking price.

Well, they say patience pays off, and luckily, Southampton’s wait finally seems to be bearing fruit. This is because Dibling's old suitors Bayern are back in his race again.

As per Sky Sports, the Bundesliga side is willing to repeat their Michael Olise wing success this summer again. For the same, Dibling remains a shortlisted option in the club's eyes.

But, what's so special about this Bayern interest? Well, let's see.

With Tottenham’s interest fading and Man Utd unwilling to raise their offer, Bayern’s renewed pursuit is a much-needed boost for Southampton. Here, Bayern's willingness to reward young talents with hefty transfers may come to the Saints' help.

Southampton need to convince Bayern for a massive Dibling fee

Still, it goes without saying that to pull off a smart transfer, Southampton's efforts surely matter.

Thankfully, there's a way the Saints can achieve this, by influencing Bayern to replicate the previous summer story.

You might remember before joining Bayern, boss Vincent Kompany had just faced relegation with Burnley. Still, that doesn't stop the Bundesliga giants from entrusting the manager.

And the result? Bayern sit atop the Bundesliga and remain strong contenders for the Champions League this season.

In short, if Southampton can successfully pitch relegated prodigy Dibling’s value to Bayern, securing a hefty transfer fee might not be out of reach.

However, this won’t be easy for the Saints, especially given Dibling’s recent dip in form. Can the club pull off this? We will see.
