Matic was close to the transition to Manchester United earlier this summer. It was assumed that the Red Devils would pay for the Serb about 40 million pounds.

However, the transfer seemed to break down due to the fact that United intercepted Chelsea striker Everton Romelo Lukaku.

However, the transition of the Serbs can still take place. Club owner Roman Abramovich agrees to release Nemanja to Manchester United. But at the same time, the mankunians will have to pay a "tax on Lukaku" - Matich will cost them not 40 but 50 million pounds.

Interest in Matich is also attributed to Juventus and Inter.

The Serb is unlikely to stay in Chelsea, because he did not go with the team for pre-season preparation.

It is worth noting that Chelsea have already acquired the midfielder of Monaco Temuet Bakayoko. It is assumed that next season it is the Frenchman who will make a couple of his compatriot Ngolo Kante in the middle of the midfield of the Pensioners.
