Manchester United and Juventus target demands Chelsea lower their pricing

17 lug 2017

Manchester United and Juventus target Nemanja Matic has told his side, Chelsea, that he demands their asking price for the Serbian, as so he can make the long-awaited move to away from Stamford Bridge, according to the Daily Mail.

The 28-year-old has been linked with a switch away for several weeks now, with reining Europa League champions Man United thought to be the his desired destination, as so he could link back up with former Blues boss Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.

Another prospect are Serie A winners Juventus, as Italian publication Corriere dello Sport claiming that the midfielder fancies a move to Turin, and wants his current West London club to lower their pricing. Matic, is it thought, has even said ‘yes’ to the Turin club – news that would surely strike the Red Devils into action.

With the recent arrival of Tiemoue Bakayoko to Chelsea from Monaco for £40m, it has left Matic facing the possibility of playing from the bench next season, so he would want club representatives to thrash out a deal quickly.
