Serie A champions Juventus will try to sign Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic if they sell midfielder Paul Pogba.

Chelsea will listen to offers for Matic as the Serbian international may not receive as much game time as in previous years due to the arrival of N'Golo Kante. 

Antonio Conte is said to want to keep Matic and Juventus will target either Axel Witsel or Moussa Sissoko should Chelsea not want to sell the midfielder. 

The only stumbling block with Witsel is that the Belgian's current club Zenit St Petersburg are asking for €40 million for the midfielder. 

This means that Moussa Sissoko may be the most likely option given the player's desire to leave Newcastle.
