DONE DEAL LUCAS MOURA JOINS PSG

PSG have officially announced the signing of Lucas Moura from Sao
Paulo at the rate of €35 million, with the Seleccao star set to
move to Parc des Princes by January.
The 19-year-old has been linked with a move over to Europe,
with Manchester United and Inter Milan being the long-term
front-runners for his signature. However, the player admitted
earlier this week that he was in advanced talks with Les Parisiens ,
and the Ligue 1 outfit confirmed on Wednesday
that a transfer deal had been agreed.
A statement on the club's official website stated: "Paris Saint-
Germain and Sao Paulo FC have
reached today an agreement for the definitive transfer of Lucas
Rodriguez Moura Da Silva to PSG.
"The player and Paris Saint- Germain have also signed an
agreement which is scheduled for January 2013 to July 2017. The player
will join Paris Saint-Germain and his new teammates in January 2013
for
the second half of the 2012/2013 football year. "By signing a young
talent of the quality of Lucas Rodriguez Moura Da Silva, Paris Saint-
Germain is already preparing the future of her team for better
performance."Lucas becomes Carlo Ancelotti's fourth major signing this
summer, following the arrivals of countryman Thiago Silva,striker
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and
Argentine international Ezequiel
Lavezzi all with a confirmed deal. He is believed to have signed a
contract worth €250,000 a
month, putting him among the club's top earners. Lucas is currently on
international duty at the Olympic Games, as Brazil's U-23 squad are
contending to win gold for the first time when they take on
counterpart Mexico on Saturday.
