The ’88 class player’s contract expires in June of 2025 but he could anticipate leaving Lyon for a return to Italy.

We are still over two weeks away from the opening of the next winter market, but Serie A teams are already planning potential reinforcements. According to SkySport, one of the names beginning to circulate is Nemanja Matic, who could make a return to Italy. The midfielder is appealing to both Napoli and Fiorentina, both of whom are in pursuit of experience and solidity in their midfield. The Serbian footballer is well-established in the Italian league, thanks to his time with Roma, and has previously been coached by Antonio Conte during his stint at Chelsea. The player born in 1988 is seriously considering the possibility of making a return to Serie A, even though he is contracted with Lyon until June 2025. On the other hand, the allure of Serie A and a competitive project could persuade him to consider a comeback. Naples and Fiorentina remain vigilant, ready to seize the opportunity should the right conditions arise.
