Paris Saint-Germain have announced the signing of Brazil defender, David Luiz from Chelsea.
The 27-year-old will join the French champions after the World Cup, where he played in Thursday night’s opener against Croatia in São Paulo.
The French club announced this in a statement on their website, saying: “Paris Saint-Germain are pleased to announce that for a period of five years Brazilian international David Luiz has moved from Chelsea FC. He will join the group after the World Cup.”
PSG beat off interest from Barcelona to sign the former Benfica defender and it is believed that they have paid around £40m to complete the transfer, making David Luiz the most expensive defender in history.
