Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on Tuesday signed Portuguese left back Nuno Mendes permanently, the French champions said.

"Paris Saint-Germain has completed the permanent transfer of Nuno Mendes. The Portugal left-back is now tied to the club from the French capital until 30 June 2026," the PSG said in a statement.

The 19-year-old joined PSG from Portugal's Sporting on a season-long loan in August 2021, and the PSG have now activated the option to purchase him from his previous club. The transfer fee, however, has not been disclosed.

In his first season at the PSG, the teenager played in 37 matches, and helped the club win the 2022 French Ligue 1 title. He has 13 international caps for Portugal.
