And two.
After Angel Di Maria at the end of last week, PSG formalizes this Tuesday the extension of another player whose contract expired next June, Juan Bernat.
Arrived at the club in 2018, the 28-year-old Spanish international (11 caps) continues until 2025. The former Valencia and Bayern player has played 76 games (6 goals, 10 assists) in the capital, winning two titles champion of France (2019, 2020), a Coupe de France (2020) and a Coupe de la Ligue (2020).
Victim of a cruciate ligament rupture in September, he played only three matches in 2020-21.
Bernat "continues his rehabilitation and his personal recovery", as indicated by the PSG earlier in the day.
His return is expected during the month of April.

"Why extend?
It's a whole, it's the club, it's the affection everyone has for me here, the supporters, my teammates, explains the Spanish left-back, indisputable since his arrival on the banks of the Seine, in comments reported by the Paris Saint-Germain website.
There is a very nice project here, which I am happy to be a part of.
I believe that we can achieve a lot of things together, that's one of the reasons why I wanted to continue here, and I hope to be able to play for several more years. ”
Neymar, Mbappé and Draxler to follow?
Not to mention the loaned players (Kean, Danilo, Florenzi), the third goalkeeper Alexandre Letellier and the young Kays Ruiz-Atil (18 years old) and Mathyas Randriamamy (18 years old), there is only one player left at the end of the contract in June in the Parisian workforce, Julian Draxler.
The bosses of PSG also aim to extend Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappé, linked until 2022. It is no secret.
One thing is certain: the extension of Bernat is excellent news for the vice-champions of Europe.
We do not indeed find players of this caliber in this position under the hoof of a horse ... The club of the capital had also carried out an incredible operation in the summer of 2018, by extracting it from Bayern Munich (very well endowed at the left-back position) for only five million euros.
At this price, it's more than a good deal ...
