ROMANO EXCLUSIVE Allegri favourite Matic agreed to Juventus summer move
Don’t discount this possibility: according to our sources, the Bianconeri had reached a deal with the Serbian in summer, agreeing to a four-year contract, wages and bonuses. Despite being one of Chelsea’s most criticised players, however, Matic ended up being kept by Antonio Conte, who needed options in midfield.
Could things change? You bet they could. Matic loves Italy so much that he visited Milan for two days during the international break, accompanied by his wife… and his Italian agent, Giuseppe Riso. As far as we know, they only went shopping, and met friends.
Were it for Matic, Juventus would be his destination, something that Coach Max Allegri completely agrees with. The reason the Serb was so often linked to the Old Lady is because Allegri is a big fan of the Serb, and rated him above the other midfielders (Matuidi, Witsel,Gustavo) the Bianconeri chased in summer.
Juventus, for their part, prefer Witsel. Were that not to materialize however, the Serb remains an enticing option, one made more exciting by the fact that he could be added to Juventus’ Champions League squad…
