Southampton have agreed a deal for Napoli striker Manolo Gabbiadini but their move for German defender Serdar Tasci is off, sources close to the Saints have told ESPN FC.
Southampton have been locked in talks with Napoli for several weeks over a possible deal for Italy international Gabbiadini and sources say they have finally agreed a fee of £14.5 million for the 25-year-old.
However, Southampton's pursuit of Spartak Moscow defender Tasci has ended after they failed to agree a deal with the Germany international and they will now look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements.
Gabbiadini's agent earlier confirmed the player is set to leave Napoli.
