Aston Villa’s reported bid worth around £18 million plus add-ons for Southampton captain Taylor Harwood-Bellis is rejected. Southampton do not accept the valuation put forward by Villa, according to multiple reports.
Both outlets indicate Southampton are open to the possibility of a sale this summer, but only under terms that meet their expectations. The BBC frames the rejection as a direct response to the bid package, while Yahoo Sports, citing The Athletic, adds that Southampton have not ruled out selling the 24-year-old but will only consider transfer if a suitable offer is made.
