Blaise Matuidi has confirmed that Juventus have triggered a one-year extension in his contract to keep him at the club until 2021.

The Frenchman's deal was set to expire this summer, but he told Sport24 (h/t Football Italia): "In my contract there was an option for another year. Juventus have exercised it. I never had any doubts about it. I feel the trust of everyone."

Matuidi arrived from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 for an initial €30.5 million, with a further €10.5 million in add-ons dependent on the number of appearances made for the Bianconeri.
