Paris St-Germain continued its spending spree on Wednesday by agreeing terms to buy midfielder Lucas, one of Brazil's most exciting young players, from Sao Paulo, the Ligue 1 club said.
PSG said the 19-year-old, who was also being chased by Inter Milan and Manchester United, would join them in January on a 4-1/2 year contract. He is currently with Brazil's squad at the Olympic Games in London and has also played for his country's senior side.
"By signing a young talent of the quality of Lucas Rodrigues Moura Da Silva, Paris Saint-Germain is already preparing (for) the future," the French club said.
PSG did not disclose the transfer fee which has been widely reported by local media to be about 45 million euros (US$55.61 million).
Qatari-backed PSG has already spent more than 100 million euros on players in an attempt to dominate Ligue 1 and challenge for European honors. New signings have included forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic and defender Thiago Silva from AC Milan and Argentine forward Ezequiel Lavezzi from Napoli.
