Borussia Dortmund Lands Thomas Meunier on Free Transfer
Belgian Defender Signs with BVB after PSG Departure
Borussia Dortmund has secured its first signing of the summer transfer window, with Thomas Meunier joining the club on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Belgian defender, who turned 32 this September, left PSG at the end of the 2022/23 season following the expiration of his contract. Meunier had been a regular starter for the French champions, making over 100 appearances in all competitions.
Meunier's arrival at Dortmund fills a void left by Manuel Akanji, who joined Manchester City earlier this summer. The Belgian international is expected to provide experience and depth to Dortmund's backline.
Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl praised Meunier's qualities, saying, "Thomas is a versatile defender with a lot of experience at the top level. He will be a valuable addition to our squad."
Meunier himself expressed his excitement about joining Dortmund, stating, "I am very happy to be here. Borussia Dortmund is a big club with a great history. I am looking forward to meeting my new teammates and helping the team achieve its goals."
