SAINTS have been linked with a £10m summer move for Davide Astori.

Reports in Italy have suggested the agents of the Cagliari centre half have been in touch with the club, who were interested in the defender during the January transfer window.

Astori is expected to leave Cagliari at the end of the season, but the 26-year-old is also said to be attracting the attention of Serie A side Napoli.

AC Milan, where he began his career, were also keen on re-signing the player during the last window, and reportedly had first option to buy him should Cagliari choose to sell.
