Juventus want Chelsea midfielder

 

Juventus are keen to sign Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic this summer, according to The Daily Mirror.

 

Matic, 27, fell down the pecking order at Chelsea last season after struggling to reproduce the kind of performances that won Chelsea the league title the campaign before.

 

With Chelsea set to win the race to sign N’Golo Kante and incoming Chelsea manager Antonio Conte looking to sign Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan, Juventus are hopeful they can tempt Matic to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

 

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is also hopeful of reuniting with the Serbia international this summer but Juventus are likely to be the favourites and have already tabled a £17m bid.
