The official website of the team announced that the club has acquired the talented "Sao Paulo" defender Lucas Moura, who was also actively sought after by "Manchester United".

For the Brazilian national team player, who will sign a 4-year contract and join the team in January 2013, the French did not hesitate to spend a whopping 45 million euros.

This is already the fourth expensive purchase for PSG - before that, Carlo Ancelotti's proteges were Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, and Ezequiel Lavezzi.

In recent days, Lucas has been preparing with his country's U-23 team for the fight for the Olympic gold medal against Mexican peers.
