Blaise Matuidi's career could take an unexpected and surprising turn. The French world champion is preparing, according to several Italian media and RMC, to leave Juventus Turin for Inter ... Miami, the American franchise of his former teammate at PSG David Beckham. The 33-year-old former Parisian has received a three-year contract offer with the newly arrived MLS team, the North American Championship. If the proposal interests the 33-year-old player, his entourage says, however, that nothing has yet been recorded in this matter.
Since his departure from PSG in the summer of 2017, the French international (84 caps) has established himself as a strong man of Juventus Turin where Massimiliano Allegri then Maurizio Sarri made him one of their executives. But this season, Matuidi has gradually moved back in the hierarchy as the season progresses. He thus remained on the bench during the two round of 16 matches of the Champions League against Lyon (1-0; 1-2).
An elimination of the Italian champions which precipitated the departure of Sarri, replaced by Andrea Pirlo. However, the new strongman of Juventus did not seem to be counting on the Frenchman, one year before the end of his contract, which he had extended last season. A change of status that could weigh in the decision of the middle of the Blues.
A place in the French team compromised?
But this possible choice of a rebound on the other side of the Atlantic challenges and questions its international future. Will it be possible for him to keep his place in the France team, one year from the Euro and two from the next World Cup, by playing a minor championship? Didier Deschamps holds him in very high regard and he is the second most used player by the coach since his arrival in 2012 behind Olivier Giroud.
However, it is difficult to believe that the level and the pace of the US championship can convince him to continue calling the player trained in Troyes. However, it should be remembered that Deschamps had recalled André-Pierre Gignac to the France team in November 2015, when he was playing for the Tigres de Monterrey (Mexico). Six months later, the center-forward was in the list of 23 for Euro 2016.
