A report claims that Juventus are closing on a £20m move for Chelsea's defensive midfielder Nemanja Matic.

Juventus are reportedly closing on a £20m move for Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic.

The 27-year-old re-joined Chelsea from Benfica in 2014 and played a key role in the club's Premier League title success during the 2014-15 season.

The Serbian international has struggled for form this term, however, and it is understood that he will be allowed to leave this summer as incoming boss Antonio Conte prepares to overhaul the squad.

According to The Express, Juventus and Chelsea have agreed a £20m move for the defensive midfielder, who is said to be keen on a move to the Italian champions.

Matic has made 39 appearances for Chelsea this season.
