Paris Saint-Germain has signed Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes from Roma for a fee of €50 million. The move is a significant coup for PSG, who have been heavily linked with the player in recent months.
Paredes is a highly-rated midfielder who has played for several top clubs throughout his career, including Roma, Real Madrid and AC Milan. He has made over 200 appearances for Roma and has won numerous titles and awards during his time at the club.
The signing of Paredes will be a big boost for PSG's midfield, which struggled to cope with the loss of Thiago Silva to retirement last season. Paredes' experience and leadership skills will be invaluable as PSG look to defend their Ligue 1 title this season.
The transfer window has seen some major signings for other teams in Europe, but PSG's acquisition of Paredes marks a strong statement of intent from the French champions. It remains to be seen how well Paredes will fit into PSG's system, but it seems likely that he will make a positive impact on the team in the coming weeks and months.
