Chelsea are preparing a £21million bid for Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic, despite the Serbian only leaving Stamford Bridge in 2011.
The 25-year-old was part of the deal that saw Brazilian defender David Luiz join the West London club, but it now appears that Jose Mourinho wants to bring him back to the club in order to add strength to his midfield.
According to reports, Matic is top on Mourinho’s list, but Inter Milan’s Freddie Guarin is also a potential candidate, but in the past week, he has revealed that he is happy to stay in Italy.
Despite his poor first-stint in the Premier League, it is believed that Matic does want to make the return to England and also wants to return to Chelsea, but Benfica are wanting more than the £21million The Blues are ready to spend on the midfielder.
