I arrived in Paris more than 10 years ago, in this city that I consider my second home. I have always received a lot of support from the club and the fans since I started and I am very grateful for that.
“It was obvious to me that my story would continue to be written here. I hope to win many more trophies in the red and blue shirt.”
