Southampton close to sealing Juanmi transfer, with Spain forward set for bargain £5million move Southampton are close to signing Spain striker Juanmi for just £5million after agreeing to meet his release clause.The 22-year-old Malaga forward, who can also play behind the striker or out wide, came through the youth system at La Rosaleda and made his debut for the club at just 16. Personal terms had already been agreed between the two clubs when David Moyes' and Real Sociedad attempted to hijack the deal, but the youngster is keen to honour his agreement with the south coast club and become their first signing of the summer.
The £5million fee represents another bargain in the transfer market for Saints, after a season where Juanmi made his full Spain debut. He is expected to provide an alternative option up front to the more physical Graziano Pelle, who tailed off badly after a strong start at St. Mary's.
Juanmi had been tracked by some of Europe's top sides as a teen , while Newcastle and Aston Villa were interested in signing him this summer.
