The Frenchman became an omnipresent figure in the Paris Saint-Germain team since joining the Ligue 1 champions in the summer of 2011. After six fruitful seasons with PSG, Matuidi made the move to Italy to join Serie A champions Juventus in 2017. He soon became a crucial member of the team and in his very first season, managed to win the Serie A as well as the Coppa Italia.

Over the summer of 2018, Matuidi won the FIFA World Cup with France. Last season, he made 42 appearances for Juventus and scored 3 goals as the Bianconeri defended their Serie A title and also lifted the Supercoppa Italiana. A player of his experience is rarely available for free, but that is exactly what could happen next summer if Juventus do not hand him an extension contract soon.
The Frenchman is a hard worker on the pitch and a selfless team player. He will be 33 next year, which could deter a few suitors, but many would agree he still has a few good seasons left in him.

About the author
Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
