Sporting CP have completed the signing of highly-rated Fluminense midfielder Wendel, who had been heavily linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Last November, PSG coach Unai Emery confirmed his club were "working on" a deal to bring in the 20-year-old.

However, Wendel will instead continue his career with Sporting, having signed a five-and-a-half-year deal after a reported fee of around €8m was agreed.

Wendel's release clause set at 60 million euros

"Wendel signed a contract valid until 2023 with a termination clause set at 60 million euros. Sporting SAD wishes Wendel the greatest professional and personal happiness."
