Atletico Madrid have emerged as a rival to both Milan clubs in the battle for out-of-favour Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic, according to reports.
Matic has seen his playing time seriously restricted this season, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer handing him just two starts in the Premier League.
United have the option to extend he Serbian’s contract for one more year beyond it expires at the end of the season, but given his lack of action so far, ESPN FC believe they are more likely to cash in on him in January.
The 31-year-old is believed to be a target for both Inter and AC Milan, but according to the report, he has a potential suitor in Spain as well.
It is suggested that Atletico Madrid are firmly interested in adding Matic to their squad in January, believing he would be an ideal reinforcement as they look to balance La Liga, Copa Del Rey and the Champions League.
Meanwhile, the Independent claim that Jose Mourinho – who signed Matic at both Chelsea and Man Utd – has already spoken to Daniel Levy about the possibility of signing him at Tottenham Hotspur too.
