The year of PSG without bling-bling or glitter has begun.
And recruitment too.
Arrived from Porto, the Portuguese midfielder Vitinha is the first official recruit of this transfer window which will be followed with attention.
Formalized this Thursday, the first arrival should probably set the tempo and validate the new orientation of the capital club.
To allocate the services of the young 22-year-old midfielder, PSG obviously had to take out their checkbook.
A few hours after the official announcement of his transfer, the figures for this transfer transaction are revealed by the Portuguese club, listed on the stock exchange and therefore required to disclose this kind of financial information.
Thus, PSG paid the modest sum of 41.525 million euros to the FC Porto club, according to the press release published by the Portuguese club on Thursday evening.
Incidentally, FC Porto announces that it has paid the commission set at 4 million euros.

In difficulty in the midfield sector, PSG therefore bet on this great hope of Lusitanian football.
The latter has already had a short experience abroad thanks to a loan to English club Wolverhampton two years ago.
In addition to Vitinha, PSG also exercised the purchase option for Nuno Mendes from Sporting Portugal.
