Thomas Meunier Signs Four-Year Deal With Borussia Dortmund, Thiago Silva also on his way out.

News highlights:

• Meunier joins Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer

• The defender turn down PSG offer to see out the remainder of the champions league in August.

• Thiago Silva wants to stay for the remainder of the champions league.

Thomas Meunier has signed a four-year deal with Borussia Dortmund, and the right back will leave PSG on a free transfer.

Meunier’s deal with the Ligue 1 outfit expires on 30 June, and he had turned down the opportunity to negotiate a contract extension prior to the coronavirus outbreak, which could have see him play the remainder of the champions league schedule for Lisbon in August.

The global pandemic resulted in the French season concluding prematurely, with Meunier picking up his third Ligue 1 title with PSG.

While Layvin Kurzawa and Thiago Silva are poised to sign short-term extensions to stay with PSG for the remainder of their Champions League campaign, according to Bild, Meunier is on his way out and has signed a four-year deal with Borussia Dortmund.

An RMC Sport report stated that the defender had been offered a short-term deal to keep him in France to see out PSG’s Champions League fixtures, but he has opted not to accept in order to seal his move to Dortmund sooner.

Tottenham had also been in pursuit of Meunier, with Jose Mourinho keen on adding a new full back to his squad this summer. The Spurs budget has been stretched further as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, and snapping up Meunier on a free would have been ideal business for Daniel Levy.

The Belgium international joined PSG from Club Brugge for €7m in 2016 and has gone on to make 128 appearances for the club.

The defender was also a part of the Belgium side that reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup.
