Paris Saint-Germain has signed midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum on a free transfer after he left Liverpool.

The 30-year-old Netherlands international has joined on a three-year deal until 2024, PSG said in a statement yesterday. He played 237 games over five seasons for Liverpool, helping the English side win the UEFA Champions League and the English Premier League. He chose not to renew his contract and was initially expected to join Barcelona. But PSG reportedly came in with a better salary offer. Wijnaldum also doubled as an emergency center half during Liverpool鈥檚 injury-hit campaign this season. 鈥淚 am joining one of the best squads in Europe,鈥 Wijnaldum said. 鈥淧aris Saint-Germain have proved how good they are in recent years and I am convinced that together, with our supporters, we can go even further and higher.鈥 PSG is looking to strengthen its squad after failing to win the French title as Lille delivered one of European soccer鈥檚 biggest upsets in recent seasons. Also, PSG was knocked out in the UCL semifinals by Manchester City.
