Following the news that Saints chairman Nicola Cortese is coveted by an Italian club, rumours are rife as to which club it is.
In conversations in the past with the Echo, Cortese - who is a Swiss-Italian - has spoken of his 'excellent contacts' with a number of high profile sporting teams.
He listed a number of Italian clubs including AC Milan.
He used these links to great effect when Saints pulled off a transfer coup by securing Papa Waigo on loan from Fiorentina.
