Southampton are expected to transfer Juan Larios during the January window. A permanent transfer is anticipated for him, rather than a return to St Mary’s. His playing time with Leonesa has been limited, and Southampton may be preparing to transfer him permanently. A transfer would be practical if another club values him and if Southampton's scouts do not foresee a future for him at St Mary's. Larios may succeed elsewhere, and his departure may be viewed as a missed opportunity for the Saints staff to develop a player who was once considered a promising left-back.
