Mino Raiola: I will move Blaise Matuidi from Paris Saint-Germain to Juventus

Agent Mino Raiola has said he will do "everything possible" to move midfielder Blaise Matuidi from Paris Saint-Germain to Juventus in January.

France international Matuidi was reportedly close to joining Juventus this summer but the French champions blocked an exit for the 29-year-old.

Matuidi has since established himself in coach Unai Emery's starting XI and the former Saint-Etienne player is now likely to be difficult to prise away from PSG.

However, Raiola appears intent on engineering a move to Turin.

"In January, if I get the opportunity, I will do everything possible to take Matuidi to Juventus," Raiola told Gazzetta dello Sport.

PSG are continuing to recover from a slow start to life under Emery.

Director of football Patrick Kluivert said they had "never been able to align our 100 percent best side so far" and promised that "the best is yet to come."

"I am very happy with the players we have now and our start to the season," Kluivert told Le Foot Paris. "The results of the first matches were not good, but I am not worried regarding the players we have in the squad.

"We have had to deal with the absences and unavailability of too many players to really have an idea of the true strength of this PSG team.

"Everyone knows that when we will play with all of our players available we will be much better.

"When you consider the different cases, such as [Javier] Pastore, Maxwell or Thiago Silva, they will get better but they are not yet 100 percent. Each injury is monitored every day and those who are 100 percent will play. This is the decision of the coach."
