Thiago Motta confirms PSG exit

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Thiago Motta has made it clear that he will be leaving Parc des Princes at the end of the current campaign.

The long-serving footballer will be out of contract at the end of the season, and he has decided not to extend his stay with the Saints.

Despite still being an important member of the squad at Parc des Princes, the 34-year-old believes the time has come to look for a new adventure.

“PSG has become my home. In the past five years, I have given everything to win and participate in the evolution of the Parisian project,” Motta explained to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I sincerely believe this will be my last year in Paris as a player.”

Thiago Motta had joined Paris Saint-Germain from Inter Milan back in January 2012, and he went on to make 128 league appearances, scoring 7 goals.

The former Italy international has four Ligue 1 trophies to his name, and he also had a key role to play in club’s Champions League exploits, making a total of 29 appearances in Europe’s elite competition for the Saints.
