Chelsea midfielder reportedly set to reject new contract

Danilo Pantic is reportedly set to turn down the offer of a new deal at Chelsea and look to leave the club.

The Daily Express have picked up on reports that Chelsea are ready to offer him a three-year extension even though he has not made a first-team appearance for them since being signed from Partizan in 2015.

Serbian newspaper Telegraf have reported that Pantic, whose current Chelsea contract runs until 2021, is seeking a move back to Partizan.

Meanwhile, The Daily Mail have picked up on reports in Spain claiming that Chelsea and Manchester United now face competition for Jadon Sancho from Real Madrid, who are apparently also interested in him.

The Express say Chelsea will battle with Manchester City in a fight to sign Inter Milan youngster Lorenzo Pirola.
