Chelsea have sanctioned a deal to take Nemanja Matic to Manchester United this summer.
According to The Daily Mail, Chelsea owner Roman Abrahmovic will allow Matic to make the switch to Old Trafford.
Manchester United have had a bid in the region of £35m rejected but the report claims that they are closing in on a deal.
Jose Mourinho is eager to add a defensive midfielder to his ranks this summer and it appears as though that man could be Matic.
Chelsea signed Tiemoue Bakayoko from AS Monaco this month, allowing them to sanction a move for Matic.
United are keen on completing a deal for Matic after they were priced out of Tottenham’s Eric Dier.
The report claims that United will have to pay £50m to sign Matic, with a deal looking close to completion.
The Serbian international has not travelled with Chelsea to their pre-season tour so he can focus on securing a transfer.
