Matuidi close to Juventus

By Football Italia staff

Multiple reports are confident Juventus are on the verge of a deal for PSG midfielder Blaise Matuidi, but there are disagreements on the fee.

Mediaset Premium, Calciomercato.com and Tuttosport all suggest a crucial meeting will be held on Thursday.

It's likely to take place around the Champions League draw.

Several sources France also suggest the transfer is close to completion.

Matuidi has been picked as the replacement for Paul Pogba following his €105m plus €5m transfer to Manchester United.

Mediaset claim a deal is imminent for approximately €30m plus €5m in performance-related bonuses.

It is not quite at Paris Saint-Germain’s asking price of €40m, but Juve aim to make the most of Matuidi’s desire to make the move.

On the other hand, Sky Sport Italia maintain the offer on the table is €22m plus €5m bonuses and that PSG lowered their demands to €30m.
