Juventus and Chelsea Target Matuidi
With the transfer of midfielder Paul Pogba looking inevitable, Juventus are looking at PSG midfielder Blaise Matuidi as a possible replacement.
Blaise Matuidi joined PSG in 2011, after leaving St Etienne. The Frenchman has been given the green light to join other clubs, as per the manager Unai Emery’s latest press conference.
“He is a very good player,” Emery told L’Equipe.
“We have a lot of left-footed defensive midfielders. If he has the opportunity to leave and if he thinks there are too many midfielders here… But I do not want him to go.”
