Tadic Close To A Move To Ajax

Report are suggesting that Dusan Tadic may be leaving St Mary's soon for a return to Holland.

Dusan Tadic could be about to join Dutch giants Ajax according to media reports in the Netherlands, De Telegraaf is reporting that Ajax have agreed personal terms with Tadic over a four-year deal at the Amsterdam Arena.

Their understanding that directors Marc Overmars and Joroen Slop both flew to Southampton to discuss a move to the Dutch capital with Tadic and the transfer could now be completed within a couple of days, although with Tadic currenly in Russia with the Serbian squad that might be a little off the mark.

The report also states that Saints have agreed a £15 million pound fee for Tadic who will turn 30 in November.

This would represent a club record fee for Ajax perhaps highlighting the difference between the Eridivisie and the Premier League in terms of money.

Dusan Tadic has had his detractors amongst the Saints support, but in the main he has represented good value for money in his four seasons since his £10 .9 million arrival from FC Twente , he has played in 134 out of the 152 games in the Premier League that he could have appeared in and scored 20 goals, overall he played 162 games for the club scoring 23 goals.

That is a decent record and a bargain at the price and probably about the right time to move him on at a profit as he approaches his 30th birthday.

If & when he does go he should leave with the best wishes of all Saints fans for the contribution he has made to the club's success over these four seasons, including some good contributions to help save the club from relegation in the season just gone.
