The forward joins PSG for a fee believed to be €25m (£21m) and leaves Real Madrid having been at the club since 2007, starting out as a youth player, to become the French champions' fifth signing of the summer.

The former Spain Under-21 international told PSG's official website: "I am delighted to join Paris St Germain, who have become one of Europe's most competitive clubs.

"Like Paris St Germain, I have big ambitions for the coming seasons and it will be a great pleasure to work under the direction of Unai Emery, who has developed an excellent reputation in Spain, and across Europe, for his quality as a coach. I can't wait to begin this next challenge of my career."
