Ipswich Town Consider Move for Lyon’s Nemanja Matić

Ipswich Town, currently battling relegation in their first Premier League season after a long absence, are reportedly showing interest in Olympique Lyonnais midfielder Nemanja Matić. The 35-year-old Serbian international’s experience and skills have caught the attention of the East Anglian club as they look to bolster their squad for the remainder of the season.

Ipswich, who returned to the top flight after 22 years away, find themselves in 18th place, level on points with Wolverhampton Wanderers but behind on goal difference. The club values Matić’s Premier League experience gained during his time with Chelsea and Manchester United, seeing it as potentially crucial in their fight for survival.

Lyon are reportedly open to selling players this winter transfer window if suitable offers arrive. However, Ipswich may face competition for Matić’s signature, with Serie A side Como 1907, managed by former Premier League star Cesc Fàbregas, also expressing interest in the midfielder.

As the January transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether Ipswich can secure Matić’s services and how such a move might impact their Premier League survival chances.
