PSG have secured the signing of midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Sporting Lisbon for a reported fee of 60 million euros (£51.1m).
The 22-year-old Uruguayan international has inked a five-year contract, binding him to the Parc des Princes until June 2028.
Despite interest from several Premier League clubs including Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool, Ugarte expressed his delight in joining PSG, one of the biggest clubs in world football.
“I am sincerely very happy to be able to make this big step in my career, at such a huge club. I will give everything for PSG,” he stated.
With eight international caps for Uruguay under his belt, Ugarte adds depth and talent to PSG’s midfield.
His arrival marks the third signing made by new PSG manager Luis Enrique since his appointment on 5 July, following the arrivals of attacking midfielder Marco Asensio from Real Madrid and defender Milan Skriniar from Inter Milan, both on free transfers.
