OFFICIAL: Florenzi joins PSG

Paris Saint-Germain are continuing to reinforce their squad ahead of the 2020-21 season. The club announced this Friday the signing of Roma's Alessandro Florenzi. 

The right-back moves to the Parc des Princes on a season long loan until June 2021. The Parisian outfit included an option to sign the player permanently after the loan spell ends. 

The Italian international was out on loan at Valencia for the 2019-20 campaign where he made 14 appearances, nine of them starts.

In comments mentioned in PSG's statement, the defender said: "I'm particularly proud and happy to become a Paris Saint-Germain player. They are one of the most important clubs in Europe right now, as shown by them reaching the Champions League final last month."

"I'll be eager to give my best for PSG and their fans. We have extraordinary challenges ahead of us this season. It'll be a pleasure and an honour to achieve them together with my new teammates, who are some of the best players in the world," he added. 

In addition, Florenzi explained what his goals are after joining the club: "The collective objective will be to help the team win as much as possible, match by match. And my personal objective is to show the coach every day that I can earn myself a place in the starting line-up."
