N. Clyne approaches a new contract with "Southampton"

„Southampton“ club's executive director Les Reed believes that "Manchester United" dominant right-back Nathaniel Clyne is close to extending his contract with the "saints". Goal.com reports that the Englishman, whose current contract runs until summer 2016, has agreed to join the "red devils", so "Southampton" manager Ronald Koeman has given him 10 days to decide on his future. After the deadline passed, Clyne stated that he feels happy in the "saints" ranks, and Reed now says that defender will soon be joined by recently extended Jay Rodriguez. "Clyne's situation is the same as Jay's. We had to talk," the director told the club's official website. "Ronald had set a deadline for him to decide. All problems disappeared when Nathaniel changed agents. We got a response from his new representative immediately." "It's not our business, but there were certainly reasons that were holding back negotiations. Now they have moved forward, and discussions with the agent were really positive." "At the moment, we are in a good stage of negotiations and I am confident that sooner or later we will find a solution."“
