Matic to travel to Italy this Monday to sign for Roma

Everything is set for Nemanja Matic to become a Roma player. The 33 year-old Serbian will move to the Italian side on a free as his Man Utd contract expires on 30th June. 

Negotiations between Matic's agent and the Italians are so advanced that transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says that the former Chelsea player will travel on Monday to have medical tests and sign for Roma. 

Romano reports that Matic will pen a deal at Jose Mourinho's side until 2023 with the option of extending by another 12 months until 30th June 2024. 

The signing of the experienced midfielder, who has also been at Vitesse and Benfica, has been specifically requested for by the Portuguese coach. He sees Matic as the ideal man to strengthen the squad for next season. 

Mourinho knows the Serbian international very well as they were together when he was the Man Utd manager and he could see first hand how well Matic plays on the pitch.
