The current situation in European football is self-evident, and most of the big clubs have a wait-and-see attitude towards Santiago, which wants to re-enter the winter window of European football.

In the final analysis, this situation is because from their standpoint, there is still a lot of risk in buying San Tiago at this time, no one knows whether this master will relapse from the old disease, and no one wants to bury a risk factor for their team.

After all, compared to the mid-table clubs, the interior of these top clubs is incomparably complicated, and it would not be fun to add another element of instability to the halfway point of the league. What's more, at present, the strength of Santiago is not yet able to sit firmly in the main force of the giants, and as a substitute player, Santi will naturally not be willing.

Of course, it is undeniable that Santiago's buy-and-use player still has a great temptation, plus Santiago is a free to join Boca, although the contract period has not yet expired, but in view of the honors he has achieved for Boca, it is conceivable that Santigo's transfer fee will not be too outrageous at this moment, and it will even be much lower, so that agents can better fight for Santiago's personal treatment when contacting other clubs.

Therefore, in this situation, the big clubs are adhering to a wait-and-see attitude, for them Santhiago is not unique and irreplaceable, on the contrary, those clubs in the middle and lower reaches have begun to contact Santi's agent Isabella on a large scale. Most of these clubs are powerhouses in their domestic leagues rather than dominants, they are looking for more breakthroughs in their achievements on all fronts, and they are also in desperate need of fresh blood, and there are too many uncertainties for newcomers starting from scratch, so Santi is undoubtedly the best choice.

Leaving aside some clubs that are not on the radar of Santhiago, there are only about four clubs left with olive branches: Southampton in the Championship, Lazio and Sampdoria in Serie A, and Villarreal in La Liga.

The Saints Southampton have a long history of building and are founding members of the Premier League, although in recent years the results have been up and down and have been ridiculed as a league lift, but last season after the unfortunate fall into the English second division of the Championship, Southampton's board of directors increased investment, this season's return to the Premier League is very obvious, and it is widely believed that Southampton's return to the Premier League is only a matter of time.

spent half a season with Southampton all the way to fight monsters and upgrade back to the Premier League, while being familiar with the unfamiliar league and winning the favor of fans, the script of killing two birds with one stone is very interesting to both Santhiago himself and agent Isabella.

Now that the momentum of the Premier League has risen significantly, and there is no sense of miasma like Serie A, it can be said that it is a very good choice, in addition to letting Isabella understand Southampton at a deeper level, Santilgo has also begun to explore some characteristics of the current Southampton manager from the mouths of players he knows.

The other two teams that threw olive branches, Lazio and Sampdoria, are traditional powerhouses in Serie A, and were once known as the seven sisters of Serie A along with clubs such as Juventus and Milan, and have a very large fan base and worldwide reputation. They are currently 10th and 12th respectively in the league halfway point, and it will be very difficult to swim against the tide to win the Champions League in the second half of Serie A, which is full of strong players, so neither is a good place to go.

What's more, San Thiago doesn't want to face AC Milan now, even if Serie A is the league he is most familiar with, he has no plans to go back for the time being.

After much hesitation, Santi will have to choose between Southampton and the yellow submarine Villarreal.

There is no doubt that Santi and Isabella are very inclined to Southampton, and the increasingly competitive Premier League can give Santiago enough exposure and strength, which is a very good opportunity. And after Santhiago's inquiry, a considerable number of players have very good comments on the current Southampton manager, and the Southampton club has also promised Santi the main position.

Under these circumstances, Isabella immediately began to engage Southampton more deeply, while Santhiago began his short vacation. During this period, he took the time to return to Huaxia again, where he visited his biological parents who were still living an ordinary life, and to Santi's delight, the second elder had accepted his existence after many contacts, so Santi started his week-long vacation in Huaxia on the other side of the ocean.

On the other hand, the negotiations between Isabella and Southampton were very pleasant, and the contract was negotiated until the last minute, and even Santiago was ready to get up and go to England for a medical examination, and the media began to report first.

Southampton fans were undoubtedly welcome when they knew that Santiago was going to transfer in the winter window, and after selling a number of young talents, they finally saw the ambitions of the club's hierarchy, and the 8 million euro transfer fee disclosed by the media is a very good deal in terms of Santi's strength and experience! Saints fans are looking forward to the South American prodigy, who once won Europe's golden boy, to help the team through the difficult times.

The team's coach Portoflitt also generously gave the No. 8 shirt that was idle in the team, representing the core of the midfield, to St. Ty.

Saintie, who was fully recognized for this, did not think much about it, and returned to Buenos Aires before leaving Argentina for England for a medical examination, and hosted a banquet for the entire team to inform them of his decision to leave.

At the wine table, Boca felt sorry for the departure of Santy, and at the same time, they also wished Santy a place in England from the bottom of their hearts.

Unfortunately, the headache soon found Santiago again. An urgent call from Isabella quickly shattered his idea of moving to Southampton, and Saintie almost spouted a mouthful of old blood in shock, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

I almost got caught!

Southampton had a brief drop in the Championship since March '08, when the team struggled in the relegation zone for a long time. The pressure on the new boss is high and it will be his job to get the team out of relegation. However, the team did not perform well in the crucial relegation battle against Plymouth, and when Plymouth took the lead comfortably, the whole stadium erupted in mourning, and Southampton captain Wright became the scapegoat for the fans' boos.

The defeat had a huge impact on the Southampton players, and one of the substitutes had already had a nervous breakdown before the game was over, his eyes glazed off the pitch and his arms drooping, as if he was stunned by what he saw. Another player, Davis, rushed over to hold him up and yell at him in an attempt to get him back in shape. The game became a microcosm of Southampton's sluggish season, which failed to turn around in the games that followed.

To that end, Plzea Pearson, as manager, is desperate to get the team out of the relegation zone, as staying in the Championship is their minimum standard of mission this season. At this juncture, the club's former executives, including former presidents Lupeau Luvi and Wilde, have also returned to Southampton in an attempt to salvage the slump.

Lowe spent 10 years as chairman of Southampton, and at his suggestion the club moved its home stadium from the old Dale Stadium to the new St Mary's Stadium.

Despite his outstanding contributions, many of Luvi's policies still caused fans to complain, because he focused too much on the commercial development of the team and neglected the construction of football itself, which is really not the work of a real football person. When the team was unfortunately relegated from the Premier League to the Championship in '05, Louvay unexpectedly appointed Cliff Woodward as the club's new director, as he had won the Rugby World Cup as manager.

There's no denying that Woodward's arrival has brought some changes to the team, and his unique vision of sports development and avant-garde sports science have made the club fruitful, but it always has a feeling of "outsiders commanding insiders", and fans are also against it. Under intense pressure, Louvi eventually resigned in '06 and the new chairman, Wilde, took office.

Unfortunately, Wilde's previous main business turned out to be a local property developer, and he lacked sufficient experience in managing professional football clubs. Wilde left the team soon after, and his successor, Crouch, did not bring any positive changes to the team, and even eased the financial pressure by drastically cutting the players' wages, and the team entered its darkest period.

However, in the current situation, two opposing former presidents, Wilde and Lowe have formed an unlikely alliance to help the team through the current difficulties. Because of the construction of the new stadium, Southampton owed Norwich a huge debt to the insurance company, and how to pay the players' salaries became a problem for the club.

The two former chairmen worked day and night to bring positive change to the team, and the team's head coach Pearson, who had led the team to a stalemate, was not approved by the board, and former Dutch international Podeport became Southampton's new leader.

Portfleet's appointment has been widely recognised by the fans for his success as a coach in the Netherlands and for his reputation for spotting young talent. What's more, Portfleet was also an excellent professional footballer with a deep and unique understanding of football, and a commitment to Dutch football.
