Paris Saint-Germain has made a new signing this summer as the club announced the arrival of the Portuguese star in a deal worth a fee of €15 million.
Paris Saint-Germain signed Renato Sanches from fellow Ligue 1 rivals Lille for a five-year deal at the Parc des Princes.
Sanchez has previously played in Benfica before he joined Bayern Munich and a dip in form saw him loaned to Swansea City, before moving and rediscovering his form at Lille.

Sanchez will reunite with his former manager Christophe Galtier after the duo worked together at Lille, the midfielder will vie for a spot in the midfield which is already a star-studded midfield, with the likes of Vitinha, Marco Verratti and Danilo Pereira, with Georginio Wijnaldum leave for AS Roma.
The Ligue 1 Champions beat muscled out AC Milan to the Portuguese midfielder on board, PSG’s days of spending huge amounts to sign players are over and the club’s president in his recent interview stated that they are prepared to pursue a reasonable sporting project.
The French coach and Luis Campos were a big reason why the Portuguese midfielder chose PSG over the Italian side.
“I’m sure that I’ve made the right choice by signing for the club,” Sanches told the PSG website.
Paris Saint-Germain will take on Clermont Foot on Saturday for their Ligue 1 title defence opener at the Stade Gabriel-Montpied.
