Last summer, after a successful World Cup campaign in Brazil with the Ivory Coast, Serge Aurier ended speculation regarding his future and signed for Paris Saint-Germain on an initial 12-month loan deal from Toulouse FC.
Built into the contract was an option for the Parisians to sign the full-back permanently this summer. At the end of April, without as much as a hint that it wouldn’t happen, the Ligue 1 champions, announced the permanent signing, per PSG’s official website (h/t Sky Sports)—and for just £7.2 million, it could become the steal of the summer.
