BLAISE MATUIDI has agreed an £18.2million deal to join Juventus from PSG - leaving Premier League fans gutted.
The French international found himself shunted out at the Ligue 1 club following the arrival of Neymar for £198m from Barcelona.
Yet it has not worked out too bad for the 30-year-old with a move to the Italian champions.
And it has upset a fair few Chelsea and Arsenal fans - two clubs who were rumoured to be interested in the 58-cap international.
Most Twitter users could not believe how cheap the central midfielder had moved for.
One Blues fan wrote that "Chelsea again miss out", while James Herr could not believe that Matuidi was available while "Chelsea were bidding for Drinkwater".
Chelsea supporter David wrote that "Matuidi still has his game" and describes his £18m move as "a steal."
And poor Danny Drinkwater comes in for a fair bit of stick comparatively.

Another Blues fan wrote how he "feels disrespected by Chelsea" as they choose to pursue Drinkwater ahead of Matuidi, saying that "someone should resign".
And Arsenal fans were also quick to weigh in with their points.
