Southampton are among the clubs interested in Nelson Deossa this summer. According to Diario de Sevilla, Southampton are listed as one of his interested clubs from England. Several clubs, including Southampton, are willing to negotiate and pursue Nelson Deossa. The interested parties are waiting for the player's agreement to proceed with negotiations with Real Betis. Real Betis want to sell Nelson Deossa to lower their wage bill. Deossa is open to an England move if the offer attracts him both financially and from a sporting perspective.

According to Spanish sources, Nelson Deossa rejected six proposals, one of which was from Southampton.

Southampton are looking for a replacement for Shea Charles and, along with Olympiacos and River Plate, are awaiting a decision from Nelson Deossa on his future at Real Betis. West Ham have also been listed as a team willing to negotiate a deal, while the Colombian midfielder wants to play for the team under Manuel Pellegrini. However, Deossa could become an attainable target as Pellegrini wants to sign another defensive midfielder and Southampton can offer a substantial fee.
