The Juventus CEO, Giuseppe Marotta, was in Monte Carlo on Wednesday to meet the PSG director Antero Henrique and conclude a deal for the 30-year-old, who joined PSG from St-Etienne in 2011 and has won four league titles during his time in the French capital.

Matuidi, who has agreed a three-year deal with the Turin club, becomes Massimiliano Allegri’s 10th summer signing, following in the footsteps of Federico Bernardeschi, Juan Cuadrado, Douglas Costa and Wojciech Szczesny, among others.

It has been a somewhat turbulent summer at Juventus too with Allegri allowing the central defender Leonardo Bonucci to leave the club and join Milan in a £35.2m deal after the two fell out at the end of last season.

PSG have signed Neymar from Barcelona for £198m while Dani Alves, who was at Juventus last season, joined on a free transfer.

The Italian season kicks off at the weekend with Juventus taking on Cagliari at home on Saturday.
