French Ligue 1 champions, PSG have completed the signing of Lucas Hernandez from Bayern Munich.

As announced by the Paris-based club on Sunday, the 27-year-old French international defender has penned a five-year deal with the club after four years at Bavaria.

The transfer fee has not been disclosed but French media reported that PSG had paid Bayern a fee of €40 million ($43.87m) plus add-ons.

He became PSG’s fifth signing of the summer, joining midfielders Manuel Ugarte and Lee Kang-in, central defender Milan Skriniar and forward Marco Asensio.

“I’m really excited! I’ve been waiting to join PSG for a long time, and it’s finally happened. It’s a very special day for me and I’m very happy to be here,” Hernandez said in a statement.

Hernandez made 107 appearances for the German league champions since his arrival in 2019 but played only seven league games last season after suffering a cruciate ligament rupture injury at the World Cup that kept him sidelined for the remainder of the season.
