Inter Miami owner David Beckham is looking forward to seeing ‘World Cup winner’ Blaise Matuidi in the MLS.

Blaise Matuidi announced his exit from Juventus yesterday, bringing his three-year stint with the club to an end.

The 33-year-was officially announced as an Inter Miami player on Thursday afternoon. He joined the club as a free agent.

The MLS side have lost their first five games of the season and will no doubt be glad to integrate Matuidi as soon as possible.

Inter Miami owner David Beckham shares that thought and is eager to see the Frenchman star for his club already.

Asides that, Beckham and Matuidi were former teammates at PSG and it would also be a reunion for two close friends.

“I was lucky to play with Blaise in Paris and I saw what an amazing player and person he is, so I can’t wait for him to bring that talent to our club,” Beckham wrote on Instagram.

“Blaise, you are a great person and you will find an amazing new home in Miami for you and your beautiful family.”

“To have a World Cup winner in our team, the first to join the MLS, is such an honor for us.”

“You have lifted many trophies in your career my friend and I know you share my dream that you will win more with us. I couldn’t be happier that you have chosen Inter Miami.”

Matuidi is also expected to get a significant pay-rise compared to the wages he earned while at Juventus.
