According to a report from Florian Plettenberg, Ipswich face competition from the likes of Serie A sides Napoli, Florentina and Como in their bid to secure the 36-year-old's signature. After emerging at Slovakian side Kosice, Matic went on to join Chelsea in 2009 during Carlo Ancelotti's reign at the club.
