Fans stunned by 'staggering' fee Southampton want for Tyler Dibling amid Man Utd, Man City and Spurs interest

Tyler Dibling will become one of the most expensive teenagers in football history if Southampton receive the significant fee they are demanding.

The 19-year-old attacking midfielder, who Southampton believe to be one of the best youngsters in English football, is being tracked by a host of clubs following a breakout season with the Saints.

In fact, a total of 14 Premier League clubs have inquired about Dibling, according to the Mail, who claim Manchester United, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City are all keen on the highly-rated England under-21 international.

There is also said to be strong interest from Germany, with Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig all interested in the teenager, who has made 25 appearances in the Premier League this season.

How much do Southampton want for Dibling?

A report from The Telegraph claim Southampton are ready to demand more than £100 million for their star player, which would be more than the amount paid by Manchester City to sign Jack Grealish from Aston Villa in 2021.

It is said Tottenham are admirers of his profile and versatile, and have made Dibling a 'priority target' after enquiring about the player in January.

However, the above report suggests Manchester United have "an ace card" in technical director Jason Wilcox, who knows the teenager from his time as director of football at Southampton.

United scouts also watched from the stands this month as Dibling featured for England under-19s in their clash against Wales at Bangor City.

Former Liverpool and England midfielder Danny Murphy is convinced Dibling is going to be "something special" in the future.

"It is the quality he has got - the belief in himself and the physical power. He just goes past people with ease. He has got a lovely left foot. He is very brave on the ball and his decision-making is good," he said.

"It is difficult to get too over the top with these young players, because he has just come on to the scene, but he is going to be something special.

"It is great for him getting all these minutes at Southampton. They are giving him the freedom to play and giving him time to learn the game.

"He is just enjoying himself and he is playing with a real belief in himself. He is just instrumental in this team."
