Transfer gossip: Matic linked with possible Man Utd move

A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…

The Daily Mail have linked Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic with a possible move to Manchester United.

The Daily Express recently claimed Juventus were close to agreeing a £20m deal to sign the Serbia international.

The Mail, however, say Juve have sounded out Matic but are yet to make an offer and that he is waiting to see if Jose Mourinho makes a move for him should the former Blues boss take over at United.

Matic, who is in his second spell at Stamford Bridge, would prefer to stay in England, the Mail say.

Meanwhile, Roma president James Pallotta has again insisted that Miralem Pjanic and Radja Nainggolan will not be sold despite both players being linked with Chelsea.

Pallotta told Gazzetta dello Sport: “I have already said that we will not sell Pjanic and Nainggolan. I want to see them continue in the jersey of Roma.’

And The Express have picked up a story published on an Italian website which claimed Chelsea are pursuing a deal to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Blaise Matuidi.
