Sky sources: Chelsea make £20m bid to re-sign Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic #SSN

If thats true, we are far from signing him. Generaly, its fair price but I doubt Benfica will accept it. This could last for whole month, i wish if we have any intention on buying new players, we should do it as soon as possible. But obviously, if they accept it, it would be great deal; Matic for 20mio in january, not bad.

That said, Matic + 25m for Luiz was indeed a horrible deal.

Please, it wasn't. Matic at the time was worth peanuts.

No one would've said that Matic was worth any more than 5m euros at the time and there is no way Matic would be the player he is today had he stuck around at CFC.

Be a great signing. As for the "id rather have x y or z player". It doesn't work like that.

It would appear he is available. And he is the sort of player that should fill a position we have needed to fill for a while.

we needed to fill this position with a different type of player though I feel. still, a good player, but not what will take us to the next level as a DLP who is much needed. hope he and mou proves me wrong.

Still not gonna get too excited until it's confirmed, but just thinking about what some of the other high profile midfielders have gone for recently or are valued at now, this seems like brilliant business.

Modric was £30m+

Witsel was £40m

Illaramendi was £30m+

Midfielders like Gündogan and Pogba are being valued at astronomical fees.

This could be a very shrewd buy at this price. Fingers crossed.

This is how I feel about it too.

I feel he has a decent passing range and composure in order for him to become the link between midfield and attack which means it could work out decently. He's not the exact type of player I would like but he's not a bad option to have around at all and at £20m it'd be a fair deal.

How long can it take? The transfer window only lasts 1 month.

The media in Portugal reports he will be in Chelsea next week.

Let's hope so. Benfica are normally a stubborn bunch. Only the fact that they didn't get into the knock outs of champs lge is in our favour.

One of the main reasons I was against this was because of the insane fees quoted in the past (£35m+). But £20m really isn't that bad in the January window. He seems a lot more qualified than Guarin anyway.

The main thing is: we're buying a CM. Finally.
