Several reports out of France, including those of L'Equipe & Le Parisien, say a meeting was held yesterday between Matuidi and and Juve, with the outcome being a 4-year deal being agreed upon.

Juve's intention is using Matuidi as a replacement for Paul Pogba who departed for Manchester United in a world-record transfer deal.
PSG have insisted all along they don't want to sell the player, but reports say the Ligue 1 giants could be willing to accept €40m - a price Juve feel is too high. A compromise could be reached however, with Juve possibly set to pay €30m with bonuses.
Matuidi, 29, was a member of the France squad that reached the final of Euro 2016.
