It comes after Serie B News claimed that Chelsea and City have both enquired about the defender.
Pantic ‘wants Partizan return’
Danilo Pantic is reportedly set to turn down the offer of a new deal at Chelsea and look to cut his ties with the club this summer.
The Express have picked up on reports in Pantic’s native Serbia claiming that Chelsea are ready to offer him a three-year extension even though he has not made a first-team appearance for them since being signed from Partizan in 2015.
He has been out on loan a number of times, most recently with Hungarian side Fehervar.
Serbian newspaper Telegraf have reported that Pantic, whose current Chelsea contract runs until 2021, is seeking a move back to Partizan.
