Juventus continue to seek alternatives to Steven N’Zonzi in midfield, including Blaise Matuidi, Emre Can and Nemanja Matic.

The Bianconeri want reinforcements in the middle of the park after losing the Champions League Final 4-1 to Real Madrid, ruining their hopes of a Treble.

N’Zonzi has emerged as the ideal candidate, but Sevilla will not budge from the €40m release clause in his contract.

Juventus are going back to Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Blaise Matuidi if they fail to tempt Steven N’Zonzi from Sevilla.

Bianconeri transfer guru Beppe Marotta confirmed interest in N’Zonzi, but Sevilla do not seem prepared to lower the €40m asking price.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the next name on the wish-list is Matuidi, who had already been very close to joining Juve last year.

Having just turned 30, the France international is slightly older than N’Zonzi, but also more experienced.

Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio reportedly discussed Blaise Matuidi with agent Mino Raiola on Thursday, in addition to Kenny Tete.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter enquired about Matuidi’s availability, having conceded defeat in their attempts to sign Roma duo Radja Nainggolan and Kevin Strootman.

However, the newspaper warns the Nerazzurri are not prepared to match PSG’s asking price of €30m due to the Frenchman being 30.

Marco Verratti’s agent has threatened legal action after “absolutely false” claims that the midfielder partied just hours before Paris Saint-Germain’s capitulation.

L’Equipe reported Verratti and teammate Blaise Matuidi – formerly a Juventus target – were at a private nightclub on Monday night, 48 hours prior to PSG’s 6-1 thrashing by Barcelona in the Champions League last 16, but an angry Di Campli rubbished the story.

Blaise Matuidi’s agent, Mino Raiola, expects the Juventus target to extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Bianconeri were close to signing the French international in the summer, but PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi pulled the plug.

Initially it appeared the midfielder would refuse to sign a new deal, potentially making the move to Turin in the summer of 2017.

However, speaking to Le Parisien, Matuidi’s representative appears to have changed his tune.

“Things are progressing naturally,” Raiola said.
