Barcelona signs French left back Digne from PSG

BARCELONA has signed France left back Lucas Digne to a five-year contract after securing his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

Barcelona says it paid PSG 16.5 million euros (US$18.3 million), with another 4 million euros depending on results, for the 22-year-old Digne. Digne’s transfer comes a day after the Spanish champion agreed to sign France central defender Samuel Umtiti. Digne played for AS Roma on loan last season and had been expected to move there permanently. He was included in France’s squad for this year’s European Championship, but didn’t play. He and Umtiti will help rebuild Barcelona’s back line after the departures of Dani Alves and Marc Bartra. The Catalan club has also signed Denis Suarez from Villarreal.
