CHELSEA MIDFIELDER WANT TO LEAVE TO ITALIAN SIDE JUVENTUS

Italian media reports claim that he has already said yes to a move to Juventus

Matcic, 28, is now trying to convince the Blues to lower their demands after agreeing to a switch to Turin claim Corriere dello Sport.

The midfielder had looked set to join Premier League rivals Manchester United earlier this month for a reunion with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

That move now appears to be a total non-going following the Red Devils’ capture of Romelu Lukaku under the noses of the champions.

Relations between the two clubs have soured since and it seems unlikely that the title winners will do business with United.

Not that the breakdown of that potential deal is causing Matic too many problems.

The Italian newspaper’s front page says that he has already “said yes” to Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri.
