Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of AC Milan's Swedish international striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a deal worth €15million (18.4million USD) a year.The sporting director of PSG Leonardo confirmed the deal to media on Tuesday.
He said: 'We've reached agreement, the deal is done:
The Brazilian was quoted by L'Equipe as rejoicing at attracting 'a player of real calibre,' and by Parisien as a player who is able to 'change everything'.
Ibrahimovic will join former AC Milan team-mate Thiago Silva.
PSG will play in the UEFA Champions League next season after finishing second in the league last term - also purchased Argentine international Ezequiel Lavezzi from Napoli earlier this month.
Signing high profile players like Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva will come as some relief to Leonardo who had seen earlier efforts to sign Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato (AC Milan), Argentinian Carlos Tevez (Manchester City) and another Argentinian Gonzalo Higuain (Real Madrid) come to nothing.Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of our players, he'll write history for Paris Saint-Germain.
