Chelsea midfielder is set for Manchester United switch
Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic is set to switch to Manchester United to reunite with his former boss Jose Mourinho at the Old Trafford according to Manchester Evening News.
The 28-years-old has agreed to personal terms with the Red Devils
The report further adds that no deal has been decided between the two Premier League sides but Antonio Conte is willing to let go of Matic as the Blues look to complete a deal for Monaco’s Tiemoue Bakayoko (Standard).
Juventus, the Italian champions, are also interested in the combative midfielder and are in the market for a quality player.
Mourinho wants to assemble a squad that can compete in the Premier League and Champions League next season and the addition of Nemanja Matic will be a good advantage to the Europa League winners.
The Blues would not want to let go one of their better players and also strengthen a competitor for the title next season.
A midfield pairing of Matic alongside Paul Pogba could help dominate sides. And with a number of extra games from the Champions League also coming up, Matic would be a perfect player due to his experience in both competitions.
Matic is still in his prime and Chelsea would ask for a premium price but if Manchester United can seal the deal for the 28-year-old, it will be a good start of an era.
