Blaise Matuidi Turns Down Move to Monaco as French Midfielder Looks Set to Stay at Juventus

Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi looks set to remain at the club, despite strong interest from Ligue 1 side Monaco.

The Frenchman was a regular contributor for the the Old Lady last season, racking up in excess of 40 appearances in all competitions.

Despite occupying a fairly regular spot in the team during the 2018/2019 campaign, new Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri is keen to trim his massive squad and Matuidi has been rumoured to be on his hit-list all summer.

Manchester United were said to be keeping tabs on the experienced midfielder in July, but more recently, Monaco have been the side most strongly linked with a move from the 32-year-old.
