- Kieran McKenna's men have already made two signings in the January market
A former Premier League winning star is reportedly in talks to return to England with Ipswich.
Kieran McKenna's side have already made a statement of intent in the January window as they look to survive relegation in their first season back in the top flight.
The club completed a deal to sign former Everton star Ben Godfrey on loan from Atalanta last week.
Meanwhile, winger Jaden Philogene arrived at Portman Road from Aston Villa in a £21million deal on Wednesday, just six months after returning to his boyhood club.
Now the Tractor Boys could be ready to add some experience to their midfield ranks as they are said to be eyeing a deal to sign two-time Premier League winner Nemanja Matic from Lyon.
Matic has made 13 Ligue 1 appearances for Les Gones this season as Pierre Sage's side look to secure a Champions League spot.
Ipswich are reportedly in talks to sign former Premier League star Nemanja Matic from Lyon.
The 36-year-old midfielder won two Premier League titles during his second spell at Chelsea.
The former Serbia international also played over 180 games during his time at Man United.
According to a report by Florian PlettenbergIpswich face competition from the likes of Napoli, Florentina and Como in Serie A in their bid to land the 36-year-old's signature.
After emerging at Slovak side Kosice, Matic joined Chelsea in 2009 during Carlo Ancelotti's reign at the club.
In his first season at Stamford Bridge, Matic struggled for first-team opportunities in the Blues' midfield and only made two Premier League appearances, missing out on a winner's medal as the club clinched the league title.
Matic spent the following season on loan at reserve club Vitesse before spending four years in the Portuguese top flight with Benfica, where he was named the league's Player of the Year in 2013.
The following season he returned to the Blues and made over 150 appearances in all competitions, winning the Premier League twice.
After leaving Chelsea for the second time, Matic reunited with Jose Mourinho at Manchester United in a deal worth £40m.
Since leaving Old Trafford in 2022, the former Serbia international played for Roma and Rennes before joining Lyon.
His current contract at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais will expire at the end of next season.
