Paris Saint Germain have agreed a deal to sign Claude
Makelele from Chelsea.
The 35-year-old has had an outstanding spell with The Blues,
playing a key part in their resurgence under former boss Jose
Mourinho, but has now agreed a deal to head back to France
following 10 years on foreign shores.
“Claude Makelele, Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain have found an
agreement that allows the midfielder to sign today [Monday] with
the capital club,” read a statement on PSG’s official website.
Makelele is set to pen a two-year deal as a player before taking
on a role as an advisor to the president.
The former France international, who called time on his
international career in June, will be presented to the press at
Parc des Princes on Monday afternoon.
Makelele is PSG’s fourth summer capture, following the signings
of Le Havre goal-machine Guillaume Hoarau, Le Mans midfielder
Stephane Sessegnon and the Roma winger Ludovic Giuly.
