Not with Matic it appears. The article says that Chelsea are even more reluctant to selling Matic to us after the Lukaku deal hijacking. And with the Walker transfer, I don't think Spurs will entertain a Dier bid either, so our options seem to be drying out.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Why watch that space, when both Di Marzio and Law have said it before you?
How petty are Chelsea. Not wanting to sell Matic to us because we dared to sign a player they wanted.
Matic isn't going to be a starter at juve with pjanic khedira and marchisio in the team.
He won't have a starting spot in the team once Bakayoko signs.
Oh yeah I know that could happen, however if it does it means we finally move on to other targets which brings us one step closer to it being wrapped up.
No matter where Matic goes it will speed things up for ourselves.
And it will transpire that we were never in for him in the first place.
2 year loan, option to buy etc etc
Whereas it'd be £35 million to us... the money in football is sick!
Err, no, if they keep Matic then they have no need to buy Bakayoko. They are having to replace Matic because he wants to leave.
So, I repeat, why is he so keen to leave the reigning PL champions?
I don't think that's the case. I think it's a mixture of Chelsea looking to add abit more youth to their midfield combined with Matic being quite limited.
Bakayoko will get up and down the pitch a lot more than Matic which in a 343 makes sense
So that means we are looking to pick up their cast offs? No thanks Chelsea, sell him to Juve.
He actually was one of the few who loved mourinho seemingly during his time there. That plus the pay rise plus he probably doesn't want to risk losing his place with Bakayoko involved.
Seems very odd that they'd replace him with a lesser player in Bakayoko though.
Think that's madness, if Sigurdsson moves to Everton he'll cost more than Bonucci!
Yes but now the problem becomes them setting an unrealistic price. Perisic will force his way out no doubt but we will have to fork over quite a bit for a player who in my estimation is not worth anything more than 30m.
But again, they set the price so if we want him that badly, we pay what they want.
Matt Law loves Chelsea 
3 at the back limits the need for a DM and I don't particularly rate Bakayoko but if Conte can improve his concentration levels a lot he can be very good.
Would he actually play? They have a good midfield already. All these teams playing clever with us. Well when you really want one of our players, desperately want one of our players, just see what happens.
Matic needs to force a move to us. Just refuse to go to Juve. Chelsea will not want to keep a player in last 2 years of contract not playing. He value will be rock bottom next year. We will get him, if he wants to move to us.
He's actually a Villa supporter who seems to be the main Chelsea mouthpiece. I've learned not to take what he says very seriously this summer because he's linked us with about 25 different players.Matt Law loves Chelsea
Those damn siestas take a lot of time out of the regular work week.
Would help if Perisic made his intentions to leave known to Inter (if he hasn't done so already). But as you said its up to Inter, they don't need to sell so we have to pay. Makes me wonder if we are trying to keep the costs down as much as possible as the fees may be required elsewhere and while we could easily pay Inter what they want we are trying not to. Besides it making good business sense obviously.
They'll get them for peanuts. Literally.
Matic & Perisic aren't great signing in my opinion. However if Jose is that adamant on getting them, I will accept it.
He wants Perisic to do a certain job. Matic has played in a side that apart from Jose's last year, is used to winning.
Hopefully this means we are in for someone better!
I think Perisic would surprise a good few people, Matic doesn't have to be great, he just needs to be good and allow Pog and Harry to be great.
Bayern's transfer dealings were great until 2 years ago...
They haven't made any 'great' signings since.
Renato has been a flop and they overpaid for him. I feel the same might happen with James.

If we don't our targets. He might just go with Fellaini and someone like Young.
This isn't sitting well with me. There's something going on here.
He fell out with the Juve manager and players, nothing else to see. He nearly left last year too.
My bad. Didn't know that. Did he want to stay in Italy? Is that why no one else was really in for him?
Caf's prayers will be answered and we will end up with Fabinho. It is certain that he is third choice, behind Matic and Dier.If we don't our targets. He might just go with Fellaini and someone like Young.
