Red Star Belgrade midfielder Marko Grujic has claimed that Chelsea want to sign him, and Nemanja Matic told him so!
Grujic, 19, is also being watched by Manchester United and Inter Milan, and the Blues have already made a £2.8m offer for the Serbian youngster.
He said: ‘After Tuesday’s match against Slovenia, I’ll talk to Dejan Stankovic. He called me three weeks ago. He told me to continue this way since Inter is following me.
‘At the end of the season I’ll go to Milano to talk to Inter. It’s a possible destination.
‘Now I’m at Red Star, we’re first in the league and I want to win the title. Then I could come to Italy. I don’t think I’ll move in January, there are certainly more possibilities in June.
‘Nemanja Matic is a friend, he’s Serbia and he’s been at Chelsea for more than a year. He told me they want me.’
Grujić was a member of the Serbia squad which won the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.
His manager at Red Star, Miodrag Bozovic claims that Grujic ” is the leader of this team, pulls us forward”.
