“I’m really proud and happy to become a Paris Saint-Germain player,” he told the club website.
“They’re one of the major clubs in Europe today, confirmed by their run to the Champions League final last month.
“I’m keen to give my best for Paris Saint-Germain and the supporters. We have extraordinary challenges ahead of us this season, and it will be a pleasure and an honour to face them alongside my new teammates, who are among the best players in the world.”
The Italy international, with two goals in 36 senior caps, is a born and bred Roma supporter who came up through their youth academy.

Florenzi played 280 games in the Giallorossi jersey, scoring 28 goals and providing 32 assists, in a variety of different tactical roles.
He has in various matches been a right-back, a right-sided winger, a central midfielder, a right-sided midfielder, a left-sided winger, a trequartista in the hole behind the striker and a left-back.
