Footballing super agent Mino Raiola has been spotted in Miami visiting his new client, Paris Saint-Germain's Marco Verratti.

However, he may have had an ulterior motive in the United States, with the agent visiting another client of his, Blaise Matuidi, and looking to push him towards a move to Juventus.

According to Goal, Raiola was in the team's hotel ahead of their game against Roma in the International Champions Cup against Roma, with Verratti not featuring due to an ongoing knee injury.

Matuidi has been heavily linked with a move to the Old Lady in the past and his new agent seems keen on making the transfer happen this summer.

Massimiliano Allegri's side have already missed out on their primary midfield target, Corentin Tolisso - who joined Bayern Munich - and would be keen to finally make a statement in the market.

The 30-year-old French international's contract expires in 2018, meaning the Parisians would likely be willing to conduct business this summer.

His colleague, Verratti, has been heavily linked with moves to Barcelona and Manchester United but appears set to stay in the French capital for the time being.
