Juventus reportedly agree an £18m deal with Paris Saint-Germain for midfielder Blaise Matuidi.

Juventus are reportedly closing in on the capture of Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Blaise Matuidi.

Arsenal and Manchester United were linked with moves for the 30-year-old earlier in the summer, amid reports that he was keen to leave Parc des Princes.

Following the £200m acquisition of Neymar from Barcelona, the French giants are looking to offload players in order to keep in line with Financial Fair Play regulations.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, PSG and Juve have agreed on an initial €20m (£18.2m) fee, which will rise to €23.4m (£21.4m) with add-ons.

Matuidi made 34 appearances in Ligue 1 last season, contributing with four goals and four assists.
