The 35-year-old Matuidi won the World Cup in 2018 and made the last of his 84 appearances for Les Bleus three years ago.
“I’ve achieved my dreams as a child, as a man. It’s with a lump in my throat that I’m turning the page now.”
A tough ball-winner with great stamina and good passing skills, the midfielder also had an eye for goal when he pushed forward. He won four French league titles with Paris Saint-Germain and three straight in Italy with Juventus.
After playing two seasons in Major League Soccer with Inter Miami, he was without a club this year.
Matuidi played for Troyes and Saint-Etienne before joining PSG in 2011.
He scored 33 goals in 295 games for PSG and was twice voted into the French league’s team of the season.
