The 33 year old defender won the European Championships with Portugal over the summer and has made over 250 appearances for Southampton since moving from Crystal Palace in 2010. Despite still having over 18 months to run on his current contract, Fonte has opted to seek a new adventure elsewhere.

Les reead said "He's had several opportunities to improve the contract situation. He's reserved his right not to do that. He's made it very clear he would like to explore the opportunities for a transfer. That's where we are at the moment, Jose wants to leave the club. He's formally asked for a transfer."
