Southampton can extend Armel Bella-Kotchap’s contract until 2027 from their side via an option.
Borussia Mönchengladbach, Hamburger SV, Anderlecht and Udinese are among the clubs linked with the centre-half.
As reported earlier this week, Bella-Kotchap is open to a HSV move, but Udinese can currently offer the most.
Southampton currently pushing for a sale, with their price valuation set at €10million for the 23-year-old.
The German almost returned to the Bundesliga last season until TSG Hoffenheim's bid collapsed at €12.5m.
Across the 2024-25 Premier League campaign, Kotchap only managed to make 4 appearances for the Saints.
