Southampton are expecting Premier League bids for Shea Charles, who is in the last two years of his deal after three seasons at the club. Solak indicated support for the move if a Premier League club offers Charles triple or quadruple his current salary, and if the deal is good for the club and the player's career.

Danny Rohl is interested in signing Southampton's 22-year-old Northern Ireland international midfielder Shea Charles, with whom he worked during his spell at Sheffield Wednesday. Charles joined the club in July 2023 and has a contract until June 2027. He has made 24 appearances in the Championship this season, scoring two goals and providing one assist. Interest in Charles has also been shown by clubs including Rangers, Everton, and Manchester United. In April 2026, reports stated that Southampton had set a £20 million asking price for the player. His current Transfermarkt market value is €12.00m.
