In recent days, Como has shown interest in Nemanja Matic, despite OL’s desire to keep him. On Thursday, the Serie A club reportedly met with the Serbian midfielder’s agent.
L’OL absolutely must sell this winter. Indeed, following the sanction of the DNCG, the Lyonnais find themselves in a more than delicate position from a financial point of view. Many players could be leaving such as Maxence Caqueret. Nemanja Matic is also in the rumors even if the OL management would certainly not have imagined that the Serb would be at the heart of the debates during this winter transfer window. However, the 36-year-old midfielder is attracting interest from many clubs in Italy including Como. The club is looking to improve the squad Cesc Fabregas starting this winter. However, on Thursday, Pierre Sage closed the door to a departure from Matic this winter. Nothing to put off the 16th in Serie A.
A retraining as a persuasion tool?
Indeed, according to information from Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzioa meeting allegedly took place in Italy between Como and Nemanja’s agent Matic to discuss a deal. The negotiations would not have been limited only to a short-term contract. The management of the Italian club would also evaluate a possible collaboration with the Serb beyond his playing career, by offering him a future role off the field. The Matic series still seems far from over.
