Hours before playing for Serbia in a pivotal World Cup match against Brazil, attacking midfielder Dusan Tadic had his move from Southampton to Ajax announced by both clubs.

Ajax said Wednesday that Tadic would join the club on July 1 on a four-year contract for an initial fee of 11.4 million euros ($13.2 million). The player will travel to the Netherlands after Serbia's World Cup campaign is over to finalize his personal terms.

Tadic spent four years at Southampton after joining from FC Twente.

He has played in both of Serbia's group games at the World Cup.
