Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said on the contract extension, “We are very proud that Thiago, an exceptional player both on and off the pitch, has extended his stay with us. He symbolises Paris Saint-Germain’s desire to build, for the long term, to construct one of Europe’s best teams.”
