Miovski 'wanted' by Southampton, Genoa, Espanyol
Staying in England and Southampton are reportedly set to battle with Serie A club Genoa for the signature of Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski.
The 25-year-old has established himself as an integral first-team player for the Scottish side since joining in 2022, scoring 44 goals in 97 games across all tournaments.
Miovski still has two years remaining on his contract at Pittodrie, but the North Macedonia international continues to be linked with a move away from the Dons amid interest from clubs abroad.
According to the Daily Mail, both Southampton and Genoa are preparing to submit offers for Miovski, who is also the subject of a bid in the region of £3m from Espanyol
The report adds that Espanyol's opening offer fell significantly short of Aberdeen's £6.5m valuation of Miovski and it remains to be seen whether the Spanish side will return with an improved bid.
