Juventus target Blaise Matuidi could leave Paris Saint-Germain for offers in excess of €30m.
Juve are believed to be interested in the French midfielder to take the place of the recently departed Paul Pogba, who joined Manchester United earlier this month.
Speaking in a press conference ahead of PSG’s match against Metz, coach Unai Emery was adamant that it would take a ‘big offer’ to sign the player.
“It’s a three-part question,” Emery explained.
“There’s the team, the club and the player. If the three are very clear that he wants to be here, the issue is settled. The latest news – or what’s coming from outside – is the possibility that he leaves.
“We’ve spoken about this question. I’m very happy with Matuidi. Those in charge think Matuidi is very important. After that, the club asked the player what he thinks and he said he’s very happy here.
“That aside, there’s the possibility of a big offer from a good club, in which case there’d be the discussion over whether he’d continue with us or leave.
“Everything is clear for us, we want the player to stay with us and stay at PSG. I expect this discussion to end soon because I want the player to stay here.”
Premium Sport report that the minimum asking price for Matuidi would set Juve back €30m.
we need to stop with Matuidi 25M-30M is ok but any more than that and we are making a bad overpriced buy – essentially getting ripped off!
for our CM to be a Direct Replacment of Pogba there is none better than Youri Tielemens, the more highlight reals i watch the more i wish he where with us….it’d be a shame if Manchester United, some other shitty English club or 1 of the 2 spanish giants where to beat us to his signature. Youri Tielmans is bearly 18 and dear god does he have talent…i dare say more than Pogba, i would rate him as Pogba 2.0 (It is not hard for Tielemens to surpass pogba’s ability by 23.

As our CDM Ruben Neves should really be a no brainier….he is like the Portuguese version of Saul and a bit younger, Rumor has it his Agent has contacted juventus, to try and Persuade Juve to buy him…our management would be incredibly dumb to let such young (Proven first team and CL first team talent) pass by especially when he would cost us the same if not less than Matuidi would.

Nothing would be greater than having the 2 best promising midfielders in the world, with both having accomplished so much at just 18years old
Lol you’re welcome 😛 I showed you this kid and now you’re convinced as well.
yup lol…unfortunately i don’t think Beppe and CO. agrees with us….the spotlight is on over hyped Matuidi
Neves agent offered him to juve…i havent read anything about a response from Juve
from Tielemens, ive heardnothing….i read that Mourinho wants him for united but nothing regardinghim and Juve.
it looks like they will never be with us smh :/ …if we wait till next transfer window where every big club wants him…then we are fucked
$30million for a 30 year old? No thanks, I dont see how Matuidi can make us that much better with the price we are paying for. We dont need more panic buys like we did with Hernanes last year.
We need proven quality if we are to aim for the champions league, Jas. Which is why Matuidi, whilst pricy, is a target. He is an upgrade on the midfield. Its a lot of money yet we can likely get 3-4 years out of him, during which who can say eh? Perhaps will win the champions league. And if so, it will be money well spent. He is a player who prevented Pogba from playing in his natural role for France…Something to bear in mind.
Where would he even play? He’s not going to take Marchisio’s place or Khediras or pjanics. I dont think we should waste this opportunity with Lemina, he will get better as the season moves along. Matuidi is good but he is not great and I doubt the can give us 3-4 solid years but thats just my opinion I hope I’m wrong.
