Turin: Serie A champions Juventus on Wednesday confirmed that France's World Cup winner Blaise Matuidi would leave the club after three seasons.

"After three years and five titles won (three Scudetti, one Coppa Italia and one Italian Super Cup), Blaise Matuidi and Juventus say goodbye with the consensual termination of the player's contract," the club said in a statement.

Matuidi had joined the club from Paris Saint-Germain back in 2017.

Following the departure, the player took to Twitter and wrote, "Have been a member of the family @juventusfc is a dream come true, an honour. I discovered an incredible institution, teammates who have become more than that. I will always remain your number 1 fan, or rather number 14 Thank you, really."
