Southampton appear to face a battle to keep hold of Dusan Tadic, with Inter Milan joining Juventus and West Ham United in the race to sign the winger.

A report in The Sun has suggested that Inter Milan have become the latest side to register an interest in Southampton winger Dusan Tadic, while West Ham and Juventus are also keen.

The Sun reports that Inter are looking for potential replacements for possibly Manchester United-bound midfielder Ivan Perisic, and have scouted Tadic on a regular basis this past season.

The 28-year-old endured a fairly challenging season at St Mary’s. While his form was decent enough – he scored three goals and contributed five assists in the Premier League – he publicly criticised manager Claude Puel after he was substituted off the pitch on a number of occasions earlier in the season (via The Sun).

The Sun suggests that the Saints would consider offers for the Serbia international, but Inter face plenty of competition if they hope to sign him.

West Ham made a £12 million bid for the wide-man last summer, and The Sun suggests that they remain keen heading into this window, while Juventus are also weighing up a move.

Although Tadic can frustrate Saints supporters as he has the potential to go quiet during long periods of games, they may perhaps be disappointed if he leaves as he undoubtedly has the kind of quality to help Puel’s men move themselves up the table.
