Southampton are reportedly not interested in signing Dusan Tadic this summer.
The Saints are preparing for life in the Championship under the watch of Will Still, who has arrived on English shores following successful spells in Belgium and France.
Southampton were one of the worst sides in Premier League history during the 2024-25 term, collecting just 12 points across 38 games.
Despite this, Southampton will be expected to be challenging right at the very top of the second tier next season, starting in the middle of August.
Still will be one of the highly-rated coaches in the Championship, tasked with taking the Saints back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Southampton out of Tadic race?
According to Southampton specialist Georges Rees-Julian, Southampton fans have been provided with an update on an exciting potential swoop for Tadic of Fenerbahce.
There have been reports that the second-tier Saints are looking to bring the 36-year-old back to St Mary's in order to increase their firepower.
However, it is understood that Tadic is not a player that Southampton are aiming to recruit this summer, despite links between the two parties originating from Turkey.
Going down the development route in terms of incomings, the Serbian's age profile supposedly does not suit what the South-coast side are striving towards.
Tadic played 162 matches for Southampton between 2014 and 2018, netting 23 goals and being a big part of the Saints' success in the top flight.

Tadic's ridiculous numbers
Despite turning 37 near the end of the calendar year, Tadic is showing no signs of slowing down amid links with a return to former club Southampton.
The Serbian was a mainstay for Fenerbahce this season as they finished runners-up in the Turkish Super Lig, scoring 11 goals and providing 13 assists.
Tadic has hit double digits in both goals and assists in each of the last seven seasons since swapping the Saints for Ajax during the summer of 2018.
