Paris Saint-Germain have signed utility player Alessandro Florenzi from Roma on a season-long loan with the option to buy.<\/p>\n

The 36-cap Italy international emerged through Roma\u2019s academy in 2011 \u2013 initially as a midfielder \u2013 and has made 280 appearances for the Serie A club.<\/p>\n

He was named captain in 2019 but spent the second half of last season on loan with Valencia, appearing 14 times in all competitions.<\/p>\n

PSG boss Thomas Tuchel confirmed on Wednesday he was in the market for a new right-back and a deal has now been agreed with Roma.<\/p>\n

The French champions, who have also been linked with Arsenal\u2019s Hector Bellerin, announced Florenzi\u2019s arrival on their official website on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really proud and happy to become a Paris Saint-Germain player,\u201d the 29-year-old said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re one of the major clubs in Europe today, confirmed by their run to the Champions League final last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m keen to give my best for Paris Saint-Germain and the supporters. We have extraordinary challenges ahead of us this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be a pleasure and an honour to face them alongside my new team-mates, who are among the best players in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

PSG, without seven first-team players due to positive coronavirus tests, lost 1-0 to Lens on Thursday in their opening game of the 2020-21 campaign.<\/p>\n
