Ligue 1 giants, Paris Saint-Germain have officially announced the signing of Brazilian left-back Maxwell from Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona.
Les Parisiens have been in the market for a new left-back amid the departure of Siaka Tiene who would be absent from club duty in order to represent Cote d’Ivoire in the African Cup of Nations.
Maxwell was officially introduced to the French press as the first winter signing made by the Ile club. the 30-year-old has been assigned the number 17 jersey and would certainly be a valuable addition to the PSG side.
PSG have paid Barcelona 4 million Euros for the services of the defender who has signed a three and a half year contract with the club.
PSG sporting director Leonardo was pleased on being able to sign a player he has followed for a long time.
“I am very pleased and very happy to welcome Maxwell, a player I have liked for a long time. He played the same position as I did in Italy,” said http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 during Maxwell’s unveiling.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maxwell-c25051 was also pleased at being negotiating a transfer to the Ligue 1 club and said that he arrives at Parc des Princes with a hope of winning titles and helping the team in every way he can.
Certainly, Maxwell knows all about winning titles and expecting good results week in week out. The 30-year-old won numerous titles in his three-year stay at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 which include two La Liga titles and one UEFA Champions League winners’ medal.
“I had the pleasure and privilege to play with many great coaches. A name like Ancelotti, it inevitably drove me. I am very excited work with such a coach. I am proud to work with a coach who knows the way to success. One side must first defend and then
help the attack. That’s what I always did in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011,” said Maxwell.
The arrival of Maxwell at the Camp des Loges gives fresh impetuous to the PSG defence that has been seemingly inconsistent of late. Furthermore, Carlo Ancelotti would certainly welcome the arrival of a player whose experience of playing at the top level
would come in handy come the final weeks of the Ligue 1 campaign.
