Southampton’s José Fonte will be allowed to leave in January via The Guardian
• Portugal defender has turned down club’s latest contract offer
• Fonte was subject of bids from Everton and Manchester United in the summer
Southampton have agreed to sell defender José Fonte in January if they receive an suitable offer after the Portugal international turned down a contract extension.
Fonte, who moved to St Mary’s in 2010 from Crystal Palace, has just 18 months of his current deal remaining having failed to agree a new deal in the summer. His performances as part of Portugal’s Euro 2016 winning side saw Southampton turn down an offer of around €9m (£7.6m) from Everton for the 32-year-old, while Manchester United also showed an interest.
