Cristiano Ronaldo & Blaise Matuidi

David Beckham's club Inter Miami have announced their first major signing, with 2018 FIFA World Cup winner Blaise Matuidi having joined them from Juventus.

The 33-year-old was released by the Bianconeri by mutual consent on Wednesday, and announced as a new signing by Inter Miami on Thursday afternoon.

"Blaise is one of the most successful midfielders of his generation and we're thrilled to have him at Inter Miami," Paul McDonough, Inter Miami's COO and sporting director, said.

"His world-class quality and leadership will be key attributes for the club."

Beckham, who is a co-owner of Inter Miami, is also delighted with the deal.

"I couldn't be happier to welcome my friend Blaise to Inter Miami. He is an exciting and gifted player and a great person," he said.

"To have a World Cup winner of Blaise's quality in our new team is such a proud moment – for us as owners and for our fans.

"For me, personally, to have a former teammate joining our club is very special and I can't wait to welcome him and his beautiful family to South Florida."

Matuidi was part of France's 2018 World Cup-winning squad, and has also lifted four Ligue 1 titles and three Serie A trophies, among other pieces of silverware, in his career so far.
