Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of attacker Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona.

The 26-year-old joins the French giants for a fee thought to be worth around €50m (£43.2m), putting pen to paper on a five-year deal that will keep him at the Parc des Princes until 2028.

The deal sees Dembele end his injury-affected time at Camp Nou, which saw him limited to 185 appearances across all competitions over a six-year spell.

The France international made 35 appearances last season, scoring eight goals to take his overall tally of goals for the Catalan outfit to 40 in all competitions.

"I'm delighted to be joining Paris Saint-Germain and can't wait to play for my new club. I hope I can continue to grow here and make all the club's fans proud," Dembele told the club's official website.

Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi added: "We are delighted to welcome Ousmane Dembele to Paris Saint-Germain where he will be an important and committed player for our club.

"The passion and determination shown by Ousmane as he has signed for PSG is fantastic and perfectly corresponds to the attitude required of all of our players.

"We are proud to be able to bring another French World Cup winner to Paris Saint-Germain as we enter a new great era for our club."

The move sees Dembele return to Ligue 1 for the first time since the 2015-16 campaign, when he scored 12 goals in 29 games for Rennes as a youngster.

The attacker then joined Borussia Dortmund before Barcelona made him the second-most expensive player of all time when they brought him in as a replacement for Neymar in the 2017-18 campaign.

Dembele won three La Liga titles and two Copas del Rey during his time in Spain, while he was also a part of the France squad that won the World Cup in 2018 and reached the final in Qatar four years later.

PSG open their new Ligue 1 campaign at home to Lorient this evening, while Dembele could make his debut for the club when they visit Toulouse next weekend.
