Southampton is reportedly progressing well in their negotiations with Palmeiras to acquire the 22-year-old left-back Vanderlan during the January transfer window. Sources indicate that the Brazilian club is demanding 9.3 million euros, a price that Southampton finds acceptable. Vanderlan, who has played in 35 matches for Palmeiras this season, mostly coming off the bench, is considered a suitable addition to manager Ivan Jurić's system at Southampton. Vanderlan's offensive skills and ability to play in the midfield are said to complement Jurić's tactical approach.
