Plan in place for January deal with Southampton – Confidence €10m will prove enough

Inter Milan are monitoring Southampton's Jay Robinson, who is impressing on loan at Monza, with a €10m bid expected in January.

Southampton's Jay Robinson has caught the attention of Inter Milan during an impressive loan spell at Monza this season. The 19-year-old midfielder has featured nine times for the Italian club under manager Ivan Juric, scoring twice and assisting once—already matching his entire Championship output from last season at Southampton.

According to reports, Inter have developed a strategy to sign Robinson in January, with €10m believed to be the fee needed to land the teenager. However, Monza hold no leverage in the deal as Robinson is on a dry loan with no purchase option.

Inter's plan is to reach an agreement with Southampton in January, though they may allow Robinson to remain at Monza beyond that window given they lack a first-team spot for him this season.

Southampton hold significant control over the situation, with Robinson's contract running until 2029. The club is expected to demand more than the reported €10m valuation and could use his improving form to create an auction, with English clubs also potentially entering the race.
