Bologna have set their asking price for Southampton target Gaston Ramirez.

Il Resto del Carlino says Southampton contacted Bologna President Albano Guaraldi over the weekend and offered to start from scratch.

The initial offer was considered to be insufficient, especially as it involved being paid over several instalments.

However, it now seems as if Bologna are willing to accept the spread of payments if they receive €10m upfront and a further €5m within a year.
