Paris Saint-Germain have added to their defensive depth and long-term plans by signing Schalke 04 youngster Thilo Kehrer, with the Mirror reporting it to be a £33 million fee.
The club confirmed the news via Twitter:
Sporting director Christian Heidel previously told reporters offer was too good to pass up:
FC Schalke 04@KehrerThilo #Heidel: "We have already been made aware of a contract with @PSG_English. The transfer will have economic factors which Schalke could not refuse." #s04
According to Francesco Porzio of gianlucadimarzio.com, the deal also means Jerome Boateng is now unlikely to leave Bayern Munich for Paris:
