5 players who could replace Paul Pogba at Juventus

Blaise Matuidi

The kind of midfield engine Juventus would love to have

A Frenchman to replace his compatriot? Blaise Matuidi has gone from strength to strength whilst in Paris Saint-Germain. The 29-year-old is an apt replacement for Pogba; he attacks well, defends when necessary but the only stumbling block could be his age.

Juventus will want to look at someone younger who could grow into what Pogba was but given the lack of transfer options and an inflated market, the choice of investing in someone proven like Matuidi could very well be a masterstroke.

Matuidi is the kind of midfielder who could sprint all game and given that isn't what Pogba did or what he was as a player, Matuidi's experience in the game and ability to read the game better than most in his position could be a huge advantage for the Turin club.

He's won four French titles with the Parisian club and has been a regular in the UEFA Champions League outlining his obvious worth. Alongside a runner in Sami Khedira, Matuidi could excel at shifting between attack and defence.
