Both Juventus and Napoli are prepared to meet the release clause of disgruntled Saints midfielder.
Southampton’s Dusan Tadic shoots at goal
Both Juventus and Napoli are keeping a close eye on Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic and are ready to pay his £13m release clause, according to Tuttomercatoweb.
Tadic has cast his future at St Mary’s into doubt recently after publicly criticising manager Claude Puel for substituting him in the latter stages of games.
That is despite the fact that the 28-year-old has been an important figure under Puel since the Frenchman took over at the Saints last summer, making 34 appearances in all competitions.
Tadic will certainly have done his case to be signed by one of the Serie A giants no harm with his performance on the international stage over the weekend, scoring once and setting up the other two in a 3-1 victory for Serbia over Georgia in their World Cup qualifier.

Juve and Napoli may have to compete with Arsenal and Atletico Madrid as well, though, with both clubs also thought to have an interest in the Serbian.
Tadic joined Southampton in the summer of 2014 from FC Twente and has since played 111 times for the Hampshire side.
