Southampton are ready to offload striker Graziano Pelle.

Juventus and Lazio are keen on the 30-year-old Italy international who has got 18 months left on his current contract.

Southampton will let Pelle go - probably in the summer - rather than risk losing him for nothing as they have been in no rush to discuss a new deal.

Saints have signed Charlie Austin from QPR and that has pushed Pelle further down the pecking order.

Austin started with a bang for his new club, netting the winner against Manchester United at the weekend.
