PARIS (AFP) - Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes on a four-and-a-half-year deal, the French football champions announced on Tuesday (Jan 29).
The 25-year-old put pen to paper on a contract until 2023 after completing a medical in Qatar. No transfer fee was disclosed, although press reports have put the fee at €47 million (S$72.7 million) from Russian team Zenit Saint Petersburg.
"Leandro's arrival will keep the momentum, both on the pitch and among our supporters, ahead of the major events coming up. Exciting times lie ahead," PSG's Qatari president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said in a club statement.
The Ligue 1 leaders were looking to strengthen their midfield ahead of their Champions League last-16 tie against Manchester United, with Marco Verratti sidelined with an ankle injury and Adrien Rabiot frozen out after refusing to sign a new contract.
PSG go to Old Trafford in the first leg of that tie on Feb 12, and they are currently sweating on the fitness of Neymar, who suffered a metatarsal injury last week.
Paredes, who has won nine caps but was not part of Argentina's squad at last year's World Cup, previously played for Boca Juniors and Roma. He moved to Zenit in 2017.
AC Milan is just the latest in a long line of European football clubs to be taken over by Chinese investors. Under football fan president Xi Jinping, China has ambitions of hosting the World Cup and the country's top companies and richest entrepreneurs have rushed to pick up stakes in foreign clubs and buy foreign players for huge wages.
