"Paris Saint-Germain" has confirmed that they have acquired Layvin Kurzawa from "Monaco". According to various reports, around 22 million euros were paid for the footballer.
Yesterday, their coach Laurent Blanc spoke about the player joining the ranks of the "Ligue 1" champions, and today the defender has already signed a five-year contract.
The 22-year-old Frenchman helped "Monaco" reach the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League last season and win bronze in the French championship. It's no wonder that he immediately attracted the attention of both London's "Chelsea" and "Manchester City".
In PSG's ranks, Kurzawa will have to compete with veteran Maxwell.
Monaco's team will replace the departing player with Fabio Coentrao loaned from "Real" Madrid.
