Teze signed a five-year contract, Monaco said, in a deal for the right back that will reportedly pay PSV Eindhoven 12 million euros ($13.3 million).
The 24-year-old Teze played eight games in the Champions League last season when PSV was eliminated in the round of 16 by Borussia Dortmund.
Monaco was runner-up to Paris Saint-Germain in the French league last season and qualified directly into the Champions League for the first time in six years.
Monaco reached the Champions League semifinals in 2017 with a teenage Kylian Mbappé in its attack. Mbappé then joined PSG.
The principality hosts the draw next week for the new and bigger Champions League format that has abolished the traditional group stage. Now 36 teams will each play eight games against eight different opponents in a single league standings.
