Reports in Corriere dello Sport state that Juventus will offer Colombian midfielder Juan Cuadrado to Paris Saint-Germain in exchange for Blaise Matuidi. The 30-year-old has been on the radar of several big European clubs with Manchester United the latest name linked with a move.
 

 Juve tried to sign the Frenchman last summer only to fail on deadline day and the journal now believes that the Serie A champions will try for a second time. Matuidi is a client of super-agent Mino Raiola who has an optimum working relationship with the Bianconeri who have also been linked with another of his clients; 18-year-old goalkeeping sensation Gianluigi Donnarumma. Now coach Max Allegri, fresh from signing his new contract at the Allianz Stadium, hopes it will be second time lucky in his quest for Matuidi.
