ITALY midfielder Thiago Motta has joined Paris St Germain from Inter Milan for an undisclosed fee.

Thiago Motta, who has been capped six times by Italy, is PSG’s third big signing of the January transfer window after fullback Maxwell joined from Barcelona and centre back Alex left Chelsea for the Qatar-backed club.

Inter moved quickly to replace Thiago Motta by signing Italy midfielder Angelo Palombo on loan with a right to buy from Sampdoria, the Nerazzurri said.
