The race for Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic is heating up on the continent.

Despite not always seeing eye-to-eye with Saints boss Claude Puel this season, the Serb's reputation has grown across Europe.

In Italy, leading contenders Juventus, Napoli and AC Milan are all interested in the midfielder.

However, Tadic's suitors aren't only in Serie A.

In Spain, it's suggested Real Madrid are also watching Tadic leading up to the summer market. Real chief Jose Angel Sanchez sees Tadic as a cut-price replacement for James Rodriguez.
