Paris are also a major club in Europe, definitely in the top five, and I am proud to be able to contribute to this great and ambitious team."

"We are delighted to be able to welcome David Balaguer to our squad as of the summer of 2022," said Jean-Claude Blanc, Paris Saint-Germain's General Manager.
