Nemanja MaticChelsea’s defensive midfielder Nemanja Matic is the latest Premier League target for Serie A holders Juventus.

The 27-year-old was a key figure in Chelsea’s title-winning season under Jose Mourinho in 2014/15 but now finds himself as one of many names being linked with a departure from Stamford Bridge as new coach Guus Hiddink considers refreshing his squad after a floundering start to the current campaign.

Bianconeri chief executive Giuseppe Marotta and sporting director Fabio Paratici have began negotiations to sign the Serbian in January to complement the likes of Sami Khedira in central midfield, according to Tuttosport.

It is not the only Chelsea name the Scudetto winners have been linked with in recent weeks, midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Ramires are certainly on the Old Lady’s radar while their interest in attacking midfielder Oscar has been reignited after a €25 million bid was rejected in the summer.
