Chelsea face fresh Real Madrid competition for Benfica's Matic

Chelsea remain interested in Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic.

Despite Benfica protests, Matic's future remains undecided this summer, says Record, with Chelsea battling Real Madrid and PSG for the Serb.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho helped bring Matic to the Londoners during his previous spell in charge and has remained a big fan.

For the moment, Benfica are referring all interested teams to Matic's €50 million-plus buyout clause. But that will change should the 25 year-old show a willingness to move on.
