Official: PSG added "Lille" defender L. Digne © EuroFootball.com

The "Saint-Germain" club in Paris, strengthened by striker Edinson Cavani, does not forget about defense - the team officially added "Lille" left-back Lucas Digne.

The 19-year-old footballer has been linked with PSG for quite a while, but despite the negotiations dragging on a bit, the World U-20 champion signed a five-year contract with the Parisian team.

According to unofficial data, the French champions did not hesitate to pay 15 million euros for the talented defender, and the player himself will receive 260 thousand euros per month.

L.Digne was only promoted to the main "Lille" team in 2011, but he easily established himself in it and managed to play 62 matches.

The player was also linked to other French clubs such as "Monaco," but this team signed a contract with free agent Eric Abidal.

This is only the second purchase of the PSG club this summer, but "Roma" defender Marquinhos may soon join E.Cavani and L.Digne, whose price tag should exceed 30 million euros.
