French media outlet footmercato reports that Fenerbahçe manager José Mourinho wants to sign his former player Nemanja Matic, 36. If the deal goes through, it will be the fourth time the two have worked together.
Mourinho moved to the Turkish Super Lig this summer to coach Fenerbahçe. He has already brought in several quality players, including Krunic, Saint-Maximin, and En-Nesyri. However, he wants to continue strengthening the midfield and is looking to sign Matic, a player he trusts. Mourinho and Matic previously worked together at Chelsea, Manchester United, and Roma. However, their relationship was strained when Matic unexpectedly insisted on leaving Roma last summer.
However, footmercato reports that Mourinho wants to collaborate with Matic for a fourth time and is trying to buy him from Lyon.
Matic joined Lyon in the winter transfer window last year, signing a contract that runs until 2026. Lyon is willing to sell Matic this summer, and Fenerbahçe wants to take advantage of this opportunity.
