The 26 year old was a key player during PSG’s Ligue 1 title success last term but talks over a new contract have dragged on and this has led to a growing number of interested parties looking to land the French international on a free transfer next summer.
Mourinho may feel that Matuidi is a more viable steely option to field in the centre of his side than the likes of John Obi Mikel or Michael Essien.
Jose Mourinho may well feel that Matuidi would offer a fresh dimension to his Blues midfield and the adaptable performer is well able to get stuck in but is also adept at pushing forward to make an impact in the final third when necessary.
Prior to his move to the Parc des Princes Matuidi enjoyed four successful seasons at Saint-Etienne.
