Southampton has rejected an official offer from Portuguese side Benfica for the transfer of Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
The Lisbon club proposed a fee of £17 million for the central defender, but the Saints were not satisfied with this amount.
The club's hierarchy is aiming to secure around £30 million for their player, according to journalist Alex Crook.
