Chelsea Transfer News: Nemanja Matic, Simone Zaza Offer, Latest Blues Rumours

Juventus are reportedly looking to tempt Chelsea into selling midfielder Nemanja Matic by offering to include striker Simone Zaza in a deal for the Serbian.

According to Sky Sport Italia (via Football Italia), Juve see Matic as the perfect replacement for Paul Pogba, and Chelsea were set to meet with the 28-year-old's agent on Tuesday to discuss his future, but the club postponed.

Juve are reportedly prepared to let Italian Zaza, 25, join Chelsea if they can get Matic in part-exchange, while the striker himself is "loosening" on his previous position that he does not want to leave Juve or Serie A, per Mediaset Premium (via Football Italia).
