On Wednesday evening, the "Saint-Germain" team in Paris officially announced the acquisition of right-back defender Serge Aurier from the "Toulouse" club.
The 21-year-old defender had been previously pursued by London's "Arsenal" for some time, and the Ivory Coast national team member himself was inclined to move there, but the team led by Arsene Wenger chose Mathieu Debuchy.
S. Aurier will replace 30-year-old defender Christophe Jallet, who moved to "Lyon" from "Paris St. Germain" team.
According to unofficial data, the club led by Laurent Blanc paid about 10 million euros for the promising football player.
Aurier started his career at the "Lens" team, and in 2012 he moved to the "Toulouse" team for 1.3 million euros.
During the last season, playing for "Toulouse", the defender scored 6 goals and made 7 assists in 38 official matches for his team.
