Winger Bradley Barcola moves from struggling Lyon to French champion Paris Saint-Germain
French champion Paris Saint-Germain has signed winger Bradley Barcola from struggling Lyon on a five-year deal.
The 20-year-old Frenchman scored seven goals last season and impressed his with skill and speed. He is part of France's under-21 side.
Lyon said the transfer, announced by PSG late Thursday, is worth 45 million euros ($48.8 million), with a possible extra bonus of 5 million ($5.4 million).
Barcola, a product of Lyon's academy, played 47 professional games for the club and also delivered 10 assists.
PSG is rebuilding its attack after losing Lionel Messi to Inter Miami and selling Neymar to Al Hilal in the cash-rich Saudi Pro League.
Lyon is 17th in the 18-team French league, with only one point from three games so far.
