Previously, Football Insider had reported that Southampton is prepared to listen to transfer offers for him during the January window. But, there might be a chance that Walker-Peters leaves the Saints on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Amidst the rumors, manager Ivan Juric has now had his say on this matter. Speaking ahead of the FA Cup tie against Swansea, Juric stressed the importance of keeping Walker-Peters, who has been a mainstay in the Saints defence since 2020.

As quoted by the Daily Echo, Juric said, "I think Kyle is a really good player and he's playing really well. I think for the club it's really important, in my opinion, that he stays here."

However, at the same time, the manager mentioned that the final decision on the player's contract situation lies in the hands of the club.

Speaking optimistically, Juric continued: "I said what I think about the team to the club and now they will make their moves to see what they can do."

Analyzing Southampton's January transfer window so far, there haven't been much concrete efforts to strengthen the first team. In such a case, letting go of one of their regular starters could be a massive blow to their squad planning in the long run.

Thus, Southampton fans will be hoping that both parties can reach an agreement before the season ends. Walker-Peters continued presence could be instrumental in the seasons ahead, as the club hopes to improve going forward.

Let’s stay optimistic that Kyle Walker-Peters and Southampton find common ground and secure a deal that benefits everyone involved.
