Juventus  announced the departure of Blaise Matuidi, who headed to MLS.

With almost no time to assimilate the departure, La 'Vecchia Signora' would have already set to work to sign a replacement.

Thomas Partey, from Atlético de Madrid, would be the favorite of the team led by new coach Andrea Pirlo.

After three seasons defending the Juventus jersey, Blaise Matuidi left the historic Turin team to begin the final phase of his career with an exotic adventure at Inter Miami in Major League Soccer.

The loss, although foreseeable given what has been seen in recent months, means that 'Vecchia Signora' is now in need of filling the gap left by the France international midfielder in the squad.

And, according to the latest information, far from dueling, the sports management of the most successful team in Italy would be working to sign a replacement as soon as possible and would already have a favorite candidate above the rest.

As stated by 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the team now led from the bench by Andrea Pirlo is looking getting Athletico Madrid Thomas Partey who has heavily been linked with moves to Arsenal for next season.

The Ghanaian midfielder is very popular in Turin for his combination of quality and physical display. In addition, at 27 years old, he would fit perfectly into Juventus' plan to reduce the ageing squad.

It remains to be seen what will be the Turin proposal to a 'mattress' team that, in the face of attempts by other clubs to take the player, has limited itself to requesting the termination clause of his contract, which amounts to 50 million euros.
