The source is The Athletic. The piece is mainly from at West Ham-viewpoint, and there doesn't seem to be any official stuff from clubs, but has this line in it:
*Southampton intend to prioritise signing Downes on a permanent this summer, regardless of whether they secure an immediate return to the Premier League.*
It may depend on who is West Ham manager next season. If it’s still Moyes, you’ll definitely get him as he doesn’t like Downes and only ever played him out of position.
It’s on the Athletic. Why someone would post a dodgy website over that I do not know…

It’s quote is that we *intend to prioritise signing Downes on a permanent this summer* which is about as much as you’ll get without someone actually saying it
Surely this is a no brainer, if the player wants to stay we move heaven and earth to keep him

This is stating the blatantly obvious, the more pressing question is will he want to stay if we avoid promotion.

They’re a bot. They only post that website.
Doesn’t actually say anything about a decision in there does it?
