Barcelona have completed the signing for Paris Saint-Germain defender Lucas Digne after the 22-year-old agreed a five-year deal at Camp Nou.
Digne has joined the Blaugrana for an initial fee of €16 million which could eventually rise to €20m based on individual and team-based add-ons.
The full-back becomes Barcelona's second new arrival from Ligue 1 after Samuel Umtiti completed his switch from Lyon on Tuesday for €25 million.
Barcelona have inserted a €60 million buyout clause in Digne's contract, with the Meaux-born ace set to compete with Jordi Alba for the left-back spot in head coach Luis Enrique's squad.
Digne emerged through Lille's youth system to make 60 appearances in all competitions for Les Dogues, before joining PSG in 2013 for a fee believed to be in the region of €15 million.
He turned out 43 times for PSG but moved to Roma on a season-long loan last season after falling down the pecking order at the Parc des Princes.
Digne scored three goals in 39 appearances for Roma to help the Serie A outfit finish third and secure qualification for this season's Champions League.
