PARIS, May 31 — French champions Paris Saint-Germain today said the club had activated an option worth an estimated €40 million (RM187 million) to sign Portugal international Nuno Mendes on a permanent deal.

The agreement ties the 19-year-old Mendes under contract with PSG until 2026.

Mendes spent the past season on loan at PSG from Sporting Lisbon. He made 37 appearances and established himself as the first-choice left-back at the Parc des Princes.
