Paris Saint-Germain full-back Thomas Meunier reportedly agrees to join Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth £45m when his contract expires this summer.

Paris Saint-Germain full-back Thomas Meunier has reportedly agreed to join Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth £45m this summer.

The 28-year-old's contract at the Parc des Princes expires this summer and he has so far been unable to come to terms on an extension, despite being open to staying in the French capital.

ESPN reports that Meunier will now be snapped up by Dortmund, who are ready to offer him a lucrative contract and signing-on fee given that they will not have to pay a transfer fee.

The Belgian, whose deal will allegedly be worth as much as £45m, has been a long-term target for the German outfit and rejected a move there in favour of PSG in 2016.

Meunier was part of the PSG side that knocked Dortmund out of the Champions League before football was suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak and would join up with compatriots Axel Witsel and Thorgan Hazard at the Westfalenstadion.

A number of other PSG first-team players could also leave the club for free this summer, with Thiago Silva, Edinson Cavani and Layvin Kurzawa all in the final four months of their contracts.
