David Beckham’s Inter Miami are set to announce the signing of French midfielder Blaise Matuidi from Juventus, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano.
A deal has been agreed between the two clubs, with just the player’s medical remaining to conclude the transfer. He is expected to sign a three-year contract with the MLS team.
Matuidi will become Inter Miami’s first high profile signing from Europe, with the current squad mostly comprised of American players and a few south Americans who qualify through the designated player rule.
Throughout his time at Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, Matuidi won seven league titles and a World Cup with France to boot.
The dynamic midfielder will bring experience to a side whose first ever game was played this year, but unlike many previous MLS arrivals, he has plenty left in the tank.
