Southampton defender Jan Bednarek is ready to leave St Mary's.

Meczyki reports the Poland international is now eyeing up his next challenge, ahead of this winter's World Cup.

AS Roma, managed by Jose Mourinho, have been "closely monitoring" Bednarek, with a fee of around 15million euros touted. Napoli have also recently been linked.

Bednarek signed a new contract with Saints in December 2020, with his deal running until the summer of 2025.

He faces fresh competition for a starting spot at Saints, following the arrival of Armel Bella-Kotchap from VfL Bochum this month.
