French champions Paris St Germain have completed the signing of midfielder Rafinha Alcantara from Barcelona, both sides confirmed on Monday.

Brazil international Rafinha, younger brother of Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara, came through the famed La Masia academy at Barca and won three La Liga titles with the Spanish club.

He spent the past two campaigns on loan at Inter Milan and Celta Vigo.

Spanish media reports say the deal is worth up to three million euros in variables.

The 27-year-old is PSG’s second transfer deadline day signing after the arrival of defensive midfielder Danilo Pereira on loan from Porto.
