Southampton Makes Official Offer for Italy’s Luca Reggiani
Several clubs are reportedly expressing interest in young Italian talent Luca Reggiani, with EFL Championship team Southampton leading the way alongside various Serie A sides, according to recent updates.
In the latest reports from transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Southampton has officially lodged an offer for Reggiani.
The Saints came close to earning promotion to the Premier League at the conclusion of the 2025-26 season but experienced a setback after being eliminated in the Championship play-off final, a match they were favored to win. Additionally, the club faced a four-point deduction for spying on opponents during the regular season.
Currently, under the management of Tonda Eckert, Southampton has secured two victories in their first three games of the 2026-27 Championship season; however, they sit in 18th place with only two points due to the aforementioned deduction. Despite this, bookmakers continue to regard them as among the top four contenders for promotion.
Di Marzio has characterized Southampton’s offer for Reggiani as “official and concrete.”
At just 18 years old, Reggiani has made a mark with 12 competitive appearances for Borussia Dortmund’s first team, including eight in the Bundesliga and one in the Champions League. He also received his first cap for the Italy national team during Silvio Baldini’s interim management in June.
Several different clubs are beginning to show an interest in teenage Italy talent Luca Reggiani, including EFL Championship side Southampton as well as several others in Serie A according to the latest updates.
