Chelsea are currently in front of Liverpool and Tottenham when it comes to signing the £16 million rated Serbian attacking midfielder Lazar Markovic in the summer.

Lazar Markovic has been linked with the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham, and Chelsea, while the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid have also expressed their interest in the past.

Chelsea's Serbian defender Branislav Ivanovic has said that he would very much prefer Chelsea to be the underdogs in the Champions League this season. Chelsea will have the chance to compete in the sixth semi-final in just nine years, but have the worst record thereafter. Chelsea have had just one final appearance in the Champions League, while they are yet to win the trophy itself.

Manchester United will be launching an official bid for the Serbian defender Neven Subotic of Borussia Dortmund with a view of using him to replace the ageing Nemanja Vidic.

Many reports suggested that Manchester United will consider starting the bidding process at around £16 million, while the player is expected to be valued at around £ 20 million by his current club.

Are you in love with Nemanja Vidic's defending? Or do you think he needs to start taking more of a leadership role?
