Edinson Cavani
Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of Napoli striker Edinson Cavani for 64 million euros (?55.4m).
Cavani, 26, finished top scorer in Serie A last season with 29 goals and successfully completed a medical with the Ligue 1 club before signing a five-year deal.
It is the latest big catch for Qatari-backed PSG who have spent more than 200 million euros in transfers over the past two years.
The move is the most expensive transfer in the history of French football.
The previous mark was set earlier this summer when newly-promoted Monaco paid Atletico Madrid 60m euros (?52m) to sign Falcao.
Cavani has spent three prolific seasons with Napoli having joined the club from Palermo in 2010, scoring 104 goals in 138 games for the southern Italian side.
He has been capped 54 times by Uruguay and scored 17 international goals.
?I know many players in the team. El Pocho (Lavezzi), Pastore from Palermo, Diego Lugano from Uruguay,? said Cavani.
?I am familiar with Ligue 1, I like it and I am looking forward to playing here ?My message to the fans and the city is that I want to win and complete all of our objectives. ?I want to learn French. It goes beyond just needing it to play football. It will benefit me?
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said that the move did not mean the club was now looking to sell Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
?Obviously we have bought Cavani to play alongside Ibrahimovic. The final decision is down to the coach,? he said.
