Jordy Clasie is a summer transfer target for AZ Alkmaar, the Dutch side’s sporting director Max Huiberts has confirmed.
The midfielder spent last season on loan at Feyenoord from Southampton but it is a fellow Eredivisie side who are keen to bring him back to his homeland.
Coach Arne Slot has discussed a potential move to the Cheeseheads with Clasie personally.
However, Huiberts did send a warning that his side will turn their attention elsewhere if a deal proves difficult.
“The coach has been in contact with him but I haven’t personally spoken to him,” Huiberts told RTV NH.
“We have to see how it works out because he has a contract with Southampton for another year.
“So things still have to be settled and I can’t say much else about it at the moment.
“We’re interested in the player but we also have other targets who play in the same position.”
The 27-year-old joined Southampton in 2015 from Feyenoord but has spent each of the last two seasons out on loan.
