Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Blaise Matuidi will meet with the club’s hierarchy and hand in a transfer request, according to Sky Italia (via TalkSport). The French international is believed to want a move to Juventus.

If the move to Juve goes through, it would then leave PSG looking for a replacement with Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko being tipped in the French media to be the man the Ligue One champions turn to.

Sissoko has been linked with various clubs this summer with Real Madrid, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, Everton, Crystal Palace, Liverpool and PSG all said to be interested but no club has made a formal offer for the 27 year old with many seemingly put off by the £35million asking price.

No doubt the French club has the resources to finance the move but whether one will take place in the next two weeks before the window shuts is far from certain. Magpies boss Rafa Benitez has expressed a desire to keep Sissoko if no acceptable bid comes in. Whether the Frenchman is prepared to commit to the club and play in the Championship is not clear.
