Tyler Dibling Southampton Valuation

Southampton midfielder Tyler Dibling is set to become one of the most sought-after talents in the summer transfer window.

Manchester City and Tottenham are among the clubs battling for his signature, but Southampton are reportedly demanding over £100 million for the young star.

Tyler Dibling Southampton Valuation

Despite Southampton’s struggles, with relegation to the Championship all but confirmed, Dibling has been one of the few bright spots this season.

The 19-year-old has scored four goals and provided two assists, showing his wealth of talent even in a struggling team.

For that reason, Southampton are not willing to let their prized asset go easily.

The club are reportedly demanding over £100 million for Dibling – a figure higher than the £100 million Manchester City paid Aston Villa for Jack Grealish in 2021.

Southampton’s stance has left Premier League clubs frustrated, but the club are firm in its belief that Dibling’s potential justifies the hefty price tag.

Which Clubs Could Sign Tyler Dibling?

Several top clubs, including Tottenham, Manchester City, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and RB Leipzig, have shown interest in the young midfielder.

Tottenham are especially keen on Dibling, having made enquiries about him during the January transfer window.

Spurs are likely to pursue him again in the summer, as his profile, age, and versatility make him an appealing target for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Man City have also kept a close watch on Dibling, with scouts following his progress throughout the season.

Away from the Premier League, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig of the Bundesliga have also expressed interest.

Dibling’s International Progress with England U19s

Tyler Dibling’s stock continues to rise on the international stage as well.

On Tuesday, he featured for England Under-19s in their European Championship qualifier against Portugal, helping the team to a 1-0 victory.

Although it may be too soon for a first-team call-up, Dibling will have his eyes set on a place in Thomas Tuchel’s squad in the months to come.

Tuchel has already shown he is happy to call upon youngsters if they’re good enough, with Myles Lewis-Skelly a prime example of that.
