Juventus seem set to offload the Frenchman following the arrival of Adrien Rabiot and Aaron Ramsey. The Old Lady now have a bulky midfield consisting of Miralem Pjanic, Rodrigo Bentancur, Emre Can and Sami Khedira in addition to the three previously mentioned players. However, Matuidi and Khedira are the likeliest players to depart from Turin.

Bought for €20 million from Paris Saint-Germain two years ago, Matuidi was excellent in his first two seasons with the club. Unfortunately though, the Old Lad will need to replace the 32-year-old sooner or later due to the player's age.

Matuidi's decline was evident in the Tottenham game. He was too slow and predictable while his passes were sub-par.

The former PSG man was rather anonymous throughout the game, failing to make an impact in both attack and defense. Thus, Juventus now have an even stronger reason to sell him.
