Chelsea transfer news: Blues look to beat Manchester United to “new Matic” in January

Chelsea have upped the ante in their bid to sign midfielder Marko Grujic after Manchester United’s recent interests in the player. According to the Telegraph, the Blues want to seal the deal in January and send the 19 year-old back on loan to Red Star Belgrade, where he currently plays.

Despite being at such a tender age still, Grujic is very highly rated and is hailed as the ‘new Matic’ in his home country. He has represented his nation at the U16, U17, U19, U20 and U21 levels and is not too far away from making the senior side either.
