The 22-year-old striker has been heavily linked with a move away from Braga in the final week of the transfer window.

 

Going into the final 12 hours of the transfer window, his future is still up for grabs with interest from the Premier League and France.

 

 

Southampton are pushing to get a deal done to sign the forward as part of Nathan Jones’ plans to reinforce his squad before the window closes.

 

And according to Italian outlet Calciomercato.com, Marseille are the other club who are looking to land the Braga striker on deadline day.

 

 

The French giants are pushing to bring in an attacker and they are claimed to be closing in on a deal for Vitinha.

 

The Portuguese has a €30m release clause in his contract and it is unclear whether Marseille have the funds to trigger that.

 

 

Southampton have been confident of getting a deal done but are now facing a real threat from Marseille in their pursuit of Vitinha.
