Italian champs eyeing Chelsea midfielder

Juventus are monitoring the situation of Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic- after the Blues signed N’Golo Kante from Leicester yesterday.

The signing of Kante may mean more competition for places at Stamford Bridge, which could trigger a potential exit for the Serbian.

Matic, 27, struggled last season after a fine start to life back in the Premier League, and is deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge this season.

Chelsea are thought to be willing to listen to offers coming in for him, within the region of ÂŁ15million.

Ironically, United had previously been interested in Matic — with the player having worked with new Old Trafford boss Jose Mourinho at Chelsea — but diverted their attention to Pogba once it was made clear that they had a chance of signing the Frenchman.

If Matic does go to Juventus, the Italian club will be better placed to sell Pogba, although that is by no means certain.
