Former Roma and Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic seems set to depart Rennes, with Fulham interested in the Serbian.
While rumours have linked with midfielder with a return to the Giallorossi, Gianluca di Marzio has provided an update about the situation. His time at Rennes could end soon due to ‘personal needs’, with the club having released a statement about the veteran.
Matic wants to leave Rennes because there is no branch of the international school that his children attend, with Lyon and Fulham interested in the midfielder. He could yet prove to be an opportunity for an Italian side, with Matic also having released a statement saying that he apologies to the club’s fans as he has failed to adapt to his private affairs to the professional ones.
Matic’s time at Roma ended in the summer after a stint of one year and he made 13 appearances for Rennes in Ligue 1, playing six times in the Europa League and assisting three times.
