Stuart Armstrong, 32, has declared that he will be leaving Southampton after his contract expires this summer, thus Southampton is well aware that they will be without him.
Talks are ongoing to retain the former England stopper past this summer, so goalkeeper Alex McCarthy may join him.
As of now, Taylor Harwood-Bellis is the only confirmed signing. The defender will join permanently after securing promotion in accordance with the conditions of his loan agreement from Manchester City.

Given that he has been in negotiations with Wolves and Nottingham Forest for the majority of the season and that a new contract has been on the table, it was widely expected that the striker would move on, but he has not yet made a choice.
Given Adams’ involvement for Scotland, journalist Alan Nixon speculated that there won’t likely be an update on the 27-year-old’s future until after this summer’s European Championships.
Though there is a remote chance the forward inks a new contract with St. Mary’s, a departure still seems most plausible.
Ryan Fraser to Southampton ‘deal agreed’
Even if Fraser and the South Coast Club may have reached an agreement, it wouldn’t matter if his parent club forbade him from leaving.
According to the most recent sources, Newcastle United is reportedly trying to work out a pay-off with the 30-year-old to let him leave the team early in order to transfer to Southampton.
This would imply that the Saints have an easy way to bring in valuable experience before the next campaign begins, and they won’t have to pay any transfer fees.Southampton eye double European swoop
two players who are now playing on the Continent have been linked to Southampton as new players.
Leonardo Bittencourt, a versatile midfielder for Werder Bremen, is reportedly attracting interest from Southampton. The director of the German team has recently stated that he would “immediately consider an appropriate offer” and that the team is “always willing to negotiate.”
This might be the motivation Southampton needs to submit a bid for a player who has made 260 appearances in the Bundesliga.
The uncertainty surrounding McCarthy and the fact that first-choice Gavin Bazunu is expected to be out injured well into next season are thought to be additional reasons why the Saints are thinking about making a deal for PAOK goalkeeper Dominik Kostarki.
The 24-year-old is rumored to be available for a fee of approximately £8.5 million, having just had an incredible year in which he helped his side win the Greek championship.
Southampton may need to act swiftly if they decide to pursue their interest because they may encounter opposition from Parma and Inter Milan in Italy.
Southampton keen on 18-year-old Argentinian gem
Southampton has no intention of departing from their recruitment strategy, which entails signing young players and giving them a route to the first team.
The fact that the team is supposedly in “ongoing” negotiations with Union Santa Fe, an Argentine club, for the services of striker Jeronimo Domina, 18, is evidence of this.
The Southampton recruitment team’s intentions for the first team are unlikely to be affected by any deal for Domina, as the attacker is anticipated to first train with the club’s under-21 squad if he signs.
