PARIS -- Midfielder Blaise Matuidi has signed a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2018, ending months of speculation surrounding his future. The 26-year-old Matuidi has been one of PSGs key players, playing an important role in the French league title run last year. The France international was out of contract in June and had been linked with a big-money move to English Premier League side Manchester City. Matuidi has formed a dynamic central midfield pairing with Thiago Motta, who recently signed a new deal to keep him at the club until 2016. PSG is also negotiating terms with Brazil centre half Alex over a new contract. A tireless runner renowned for his tenacious tackling, Matuidi has played 124 games and scored 13 goals for PSG since joining from Saint-Etienne in 2011. "I was determined to continue the adventure with Paris Saint-Germain," said Matuidi, who has played 19 times for France. "The clubs limitless ambition is unequaled in Europe." Since Qatari backers QSI took charge in May 2011, PSG already has bought four players costing more than 40 million euros ($55 million) each -- Brazil captain Thiago Silva, Argentina midfielder Javier Pastore, the clubs first marquee signing who has since fallen out of favour, Brazil winger Lucas and Uruguay forward Edinson Cavani. PSG also signed midfielder Yohan Cabaye from Premier League club Newcastle last month, and the fact Matuidi is staying on shows PSG has the power both to lure and keep good players, when the French league has historically mainly been a selling league. "We are sending out a very strong message to France and the rest of Europe by re-signing one of Frances very best players," PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said. "Together, we want to build one of the best clubs in the world." PSG leads the French league by five points from Monaco, and thrashed Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 away from home in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 match. The team is scoring freely and Zlatan Ibrahimovic has 37 goals in all competitions. Mexico Blank Jersey .

Custom Mexico Jerseys . No pretty goals on this night, just get to the front of the net and fight for a chance.Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker wont be suiting up on Sunday. Neither will Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick. Despite the unions approval, the NFL didnt sign off on a new drug policy before Saturdays roster deadline, meaning players potentially eligible for reinstatement remained on the reserve/suspended list. That includes Welker and Scandrick, who are both serving four-game punishments. The NFL Players Association approved a new policy Friday that would introduce HGH testing and significantly increase the threshold for positive marijuana tests. Other changes could result in suspended players seeing their punishments reduced or rescinded. Despite the unions OK, the NFL didnt approve the new policy by the 4 p.m. ET deadline for the 53-man rosters to be set for Sundays games. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press on Friday night that significant issues remained unresolved. On Saturday morning, the NFLPA issued a statement saying, "We hope to have final agreements, including effective date for players with adjusted discipline, very soon." Welker was suspended for amphetamine use in the off-season, but punishment for that is being switched from the performance enhancers policy to the substance abuse program -- except for in-season violations. Quarterback Peyton Manning expressed a desire to have Welker back in action by this weekend. But the Broncos slot receiver likely would have been inactive against Kansas City even if hed been reinstated..dddddddddddd Although he has cleared concussion protocol, hes practiced just once since Aug. 23, when he sustained his third head injury in a 10-month span. If the NFL agrees to the new drug policy soon, Welker could be eligible to play against Seattle next week. Before beginning his suspension, Welker, a widely respected 11-year NFL veteran, vehemently disagreed with his punishment and said hed fight to fix the leagues drug policy. "I dont have an explanation of exactly what happened," teammate Jacob Tamme said Friday. "All I know is hes one of the best teammates and guys in this locker room, one of the best guys Ive ever played with. My understanding is if this policy gets passed, it will benefit guys like him. So, obviously, there was something wrong with the system." Scandrick, whose Cowboys play Tennessee on Sunday, blamed his positive drug test on a recreational drug he took in Mexico that he didnt know contained an amphetamine. Other suspended players could have their bans lifted if the NFL signs off on the drug policy. Miami Dolphins defenders Reshad Jones and Dion Jordan are serving four-game bans for violating the leagues policy on performance enhancers. Jordan tested positive for a stimulant and Jones said he took a supplement that caused the violation. If the substances for which they tested positive are remanded into the substance abuse program, they, too, could be eligible to return before serving their full four-game suspensions. ' ' '
