Matic penned a two-year contract extension in 2020 when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in charge, with an option of an extra season.

However he has opted against staying at the Theatre of Dreams, with a switch to Italy claimed to be in the offing.

According to the Daily Star, 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.

The news outlet adds that 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.

Commenting on his decision to depart England, Matic said last month: “After a great deal of thought, I have decided that this season will be my last with Manchester United.

“I have informed the board, the manager and the players of my decision.

“It has been a huge honour and a privilege to play for this great club.

“A big thank you to the fans for their unwavering support.

“I will now give everything until the end of the season to help my teammates finish as strongly as possible.”
