The absence of Matic on Chelsea's Asian tour list seems to have indicated that the defender's future does not seem to be in Chelsea.

In summary, where Matic goes depends on whether Bakayoko can come.

After confirming Caballero and Rudiger, Bakayoko became the next piece of the puzzle on Chelsea's road to defending the title. Some media believe that Manchester United will intercept Bakayoko at the last moment before he signs, but Bakayoko does not seem to be Mourinho's target.

For the same position of central midfielder and defensive midfielder, he prefers Matic.

In any case, Monaco player Bakayoko's transfer to Chelsea is almost a foregone conclusion. What is troubling the Blues' top management now is no longer the disagreement on salary conditions, but Bakayoko's knee injury.

After leaving the field for three months due to surgery in February, the Monaco midfielder is still in the recovery period. But in any case, French media RMC Sports reported at the end of July that Bakayoko's transfer will be completed before the beginning of August and the two sides have reached an agreement.

This also gave Mourinho, who was closely watching Bakayoko's situation, and Wei Le, who was closely watching Dendoncker, a reassurance.

With Romano's consistent HERE WE GO and Chelsea's official propaganda, Bakayoko's plane arrived in Asia. The French midfielder was locked in the Blues Chelsea for the next five years, with a transfer fee of 40 million euros.

Because of this, Manchester United can further promote Matic's transfer.

Regarding Matic, although Chelsea has made up its mind to sell, in principle, they certainly don't want Matic to be sold cheaply to Premier League competitors. They prefer to let Matic go to Italy or somewhere far away from England.

But Matic prefers to go to Manchester United.

"We must take Matic!" Looking at Mourinho's daily emails, Judge asked his subordinates. This is the beginning of Mourinho's second season at Manchester United. With the result of winning the Europa League last season, everyone is looking forward to his further progress.

"What about Dendoncker? He said he was waiting for our news, but I kept dragging him along, saying we were still considering it." The subordinate raised the question of Dendoncker with some concern.

"Damn it, who cares about Dendoncker? Now we have to take down Matic first." Judge cursed, not knowing whether he was angry at Dendoncker's anxiety or at his subordinate's seriousness.

"Let me think about Dendoncker." Judge scratched his head in annoyance, "You should continue to drag it out, talk to his agent about the contract, listen to their opinions, and give them some hope, which should delay it for a while."

"Okay." The subordinate took the order and left.

Dendoncker sat on the sofa, with his mobile phone on speakerphone next to him. On the other end of the phone, Dendoncker's agent was trying hard to promote the benefits of Manchester United.

"That's Manchester United!" The agent's tone was almost fanatical, "You can't not know Manchester United. Even if you don't watch football, you will know this club. They are very famous all over the world."

"They just won the Europa League last season, which means that if you choose Manchester United, you can play in the Champions League next season."

"For you, Manchester United can give you a big growth platform, you must know it yourself. After all, you are only 22 years old. If you go to Manchester United, you can really rise straight up!"

"Mourinho is very optimistic about you. They all called me to ask about the terms of the contract. They said they would consider it and it should be no problem." The agent said excitedly, "You go , you will definitely be able to start."

"Belgian goes to Manchester United, your predecessor is Fellaini! You will definitely become a player like Fellaini!"

"In addition, you can make a lot of money. Your commercial value will explode in Manchester United, they will print your head on the billboard, you will be very famous!"

"If it were me, I wouldn't have to make a choice at all. I would immediately agree to them and then ask them to make an offer to Anderlecht! After all, it would be bad if I missed Manchester United's training camp."

"Are you listening? Leander? Hello?"

Dendoncker has not answered. The agent who is performing a one-man show feels that his client does not seem to be very focused on the things in front of him. Dendoncker, who is sitting on the sofa, sighed.

"Listening? Just listen." The agent heard the movement on the other end of the phone, and then he was relieved, and immediately continued his persuasion, "I'm telling you..."

Listening to the way his agent seems to have become Manchester United's image ambassador, Dendoncker feels a little awkward. Now it seems that as long as he agrees, his agent will directly buy a plane ticket for himSent to Manchester.

But did things really go so smoothly? Dendoncker always felt something was wrong.

Did Manchester United really care about him that much?

Dendoncker did not leave everything to his agent. The agent was paying attention to the transfer rumors, and Dendoncker himself was also paying attention to these news. This also prevented him from completely believing all the news forwarded to him by the agent.

The agent told him that Manchester United had already negotiated the relevant terms with him, and told him that the procedures were all normal, and it seemed that the transfer was just around the corner.

But Dendoncker never saw the news in the media that Manchester United and Anderlecht were negotiating his transfer. You know, although Manchester United can have some preliminary understanding with the players before making an offer to the club, it is mainly to roughly understand the players' intentions.

However, it is definitely impossible to sign a contract with the player before getting the club's consent.

Therefore, when the agent told him that Manchester United had negotiated the terms of the contract with him, Dendoncker was a little confused. Manchester United did not make an offer to Anderlecht, so how dare they negotiate terms with Dendoncker's agent?

These two pieces of news are obviously conflicting.

But which one is false?

Dendoncker is not easy to judge. But in any case, Dendoncker feels that his agent may have been fooled by Manchester United. Dendoncker is currently just perfunctory in promoting his agent.

He always feels that going to Manchester United is not a good choice under such circumstances.

So he interrupted the agent who was still talking and asked a soul-piercing question.

"You said Manchester United really values ​​me, why don't you let Fellaini persuade me?"

"Uh." The agent stopped.

Fellaini and Dendoncker are both in the Belgian national team. Fellaini is 8 years older than Dendoncker and is Dendoncker's big brother in the national team. Because they are both in the midfield position, the two have a lot in common and have a good relationship in private.

"If they cared about me, they must have known that I was hesitating. And they didn't even send anyone to persuade me to join them, let alone Marouane (Fellaini), even a scout representing Manchester United would be fine?"

"If it really depends on my attitude, how could they not even make an offer to Anderlecht?"

The agent was silent for a while, probably thinking about how to convince his client, but at the same time, Dendoncker felt that he should also be thinking about how to convince himself.

"Marouane... should have his own things to do."

"He is training with the team now. I can call him and ask if he has received instructions from the team but has not come to me yet, or if he doesn't know I am going at all."

"This..." The agent felt bad, "This is too abrupt!"

Dendoncker finally didn't call, but his agent could not convince himself, and Dendoncker's doubts grew.
