Breaking: Chelsea star omitted from pre-season tour amid Juve & Man Utd links

Chelsea star Nemanja Matic has been omitted from the Blues’ pre-season tour that will be held in Singapore, according to reports in England.

The Serbian midfielder is a transfer target of both Juventus and Manchester United and Antonio Conte’s choice to omit the former Benfica star from Chelsea squad for the incoming friendly games it’s a clear sign that Matic will be sold in the summer.

Diego Costa is also been omitted from Chelsea's squad list.

​Chelsea are close to completing the signing of Tiemoue Bakayoko who has recently posted a picture of Chelsea training ground Cobham hinting that he will soon be joining his new Chelsea teammates.

Due to Bakayoko’s arrival, Matic could be shown the Stamford Bridge exit door.
Max Allegri has shortlisted the Serbian as one of his summer transfer priorities
alongside Sevilla’s Steven N’Zonzi and Sporting CP’s William Carvalho.

José Mourinho, however, is a long time admirer of Matic too and he is expected to make Chelsea an official offer to land his former player.
