Blaise Matuidi roped in by David Beckham owned MLS side Inter Miami

Blaise Matuidi’s career graph has shown a persistent rise over the past decade, with him winning a plethora of trophies over the years. Moving to Paris Saint Germain in 2011 would prove crucial as he developed as a player in the French capital and guided them to four Ligue 1 titles. His move to Juventus was no less fruitful, with him playing a pivotal role in each of their last three Serie A Scudetti wins. But, for the time being, the 33-year old has opted to move out of Europe and recently signed for Major League Soccer (MLS) side Inter Miami, a club which is co-owned by his former Paris Saint Germain teammate David Beckham.

"I made my decision a few weeks ago to join Inter Miami, rise to my friend David Beckham's challenge and win new trophies there. My family and I can't wait," stated Blaise Matuidi on his Twitter handle.

Matuidi has been an equally efficient footballer in the national colours, with him playing a pivotal role in France’s 2018 World Cup-winning campaign in Russia. Back in 2015, the playmaker won the French Player of the Year award. David Beckham was excited at the prospect of having a World Cup winner in his side and being a former teammate makes it even more special. The former PSG and Manchester United man also added that he believes Matuidi can help the club with it a proud moment.

“I couldn’t be happier to welcome my friend Blaise to Inter Miami. He is an exciting and gifted player and a great person. To have a World Cup winner of Blaise’s quality in our new team is such a proud moment - for us as owners and for our fans. For me personally, to have a former teammate joining our Club is very special and I can’t wait to welcome him and his beautiful family to South Florida,” said David Beckham, as reported by Inter Miami’s club website.
