Roma don’t want to lose Matic to Rennes

Reports suggest that Nemanja Matic has agreed to a deal with Rennes and is now pushing Roma for the move, but the club isn’t keen to let him go.

The 35-year-old Serbian midfielder, who is known to be a favourite of coach Jose Mourinho, has entered the last year of his contract with the Giallorossi. He featured regularly last season, seeing over 3100 minutes of action across 50 total appearances.

Yesterday, reports from France emerged detailing an agreement between Matic and Rennes, who had offered him a contract, worth a little less than his current deal in the Italian capital.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, Roma had never intended to sell Matic this summer and were shocked by his pressing desire to leave for Rennes this month.

The Serbian veteran is hoping to push through the move, but much depends on Rennes’ offer. The French side are hoping for a small compensation fee, but this seems unlikely to convince the Giallorossi.

Roma are already in the market for a new centre forward and are not keen to have another important market matter to resolve.
