France’s World Cup-winning midfielder Blaise Matuidi is
leaving Juventus by mutual consent after three years, the Italian
champions announced on Wednesday.
Matuidi, 33, joined the Turin giants from Paris Saint-Germain in
2017 and had one year left on his contract.
It is reported he is set to move to the United States to join
David Beckham’s Major League Soccer club Inter Miami.
“Blaise Matuidi and Juventus say goodbye with the consensual
termination of the player’s contract,” Juventus said in a
statement.
“With our colours on his back, he fought and played his heart
out in every single game; placing constant pressure on the
opponents, tearing apart the run of play and ever so eloquently
relaunching the ball into action.”

Matudi, who played in the 2018 World Cup final when France beat
Croatia 4-2, won three Serie A titles, one Italian Cup and the
Italian Super Cup at Juventus.

He also won four Ligue 1 titles during six years at PSG, having
previously played for French clubs Troyes and Saint Etienne.
Matuidi played 98 games for Juventus in Serie A and 133 times in
all competitions, second only to Argentine forward Paulo Dybala
(134).
He helped Juventus win a ninth Serie A title in a row this
season.
But the club’s failure to advance past the Champions League last
16 led to the sacking of coach Maurizio Sarri after a single
season. He has been replaced by former Juventus and Italy star
Andrea Pirlo.

“To have been a member of the Juventus family is a dream come
true, an honour,” Matuidi wrote on Instagram.
“I discovered an incredible institution, teammates who have
become more than that.
“I will always remain your number 1 fan, or rather number 14.
Thank you Juventus, a very real thank you.”
