Man Utd veteran Matic favouring Juventus over Roma with mega signing-on bonus involved

Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic is in line for a bumper signing on fee should he choose to join Juventus this summer.

The Serbian, 33, will depart Old Trafford as a free agent in the summer after he decided against staying for his final year.

The Daily Star says the ex-Chelsea ace is poised to link up with the Old Lady.

They state that Matic is keen to end his career in Serie A, with the league as well as the financial package appealing to him.

And the former Benfica man will take home a £10m signing-on-fee.

That is in addition to earning a whopping £90,000-a-week salary in Turin.

Roma were believed to be in for Matic as Jose Mourinho eyed up a reunion with the player for a third time.

But with Juve qualifying for the Champions League, Matic has decided against a switch to the Italian capital.
