PARIS - German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund on Thursday confirmed that they have signed right back Thomas Meunier from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.

Thomas Meunier penned on a four-year contract with Borussia Dortmund

The 28-year-old, who penned on a four-year contract with the Ruhr-based club, will join his Belgian compatriot Axel Witsel and Thorgan Hazard at Signal Iduna Park.   

"Borussia Dortmund play exactly the type of football I want to play: exciting, authentic and natural," Meunier said in a statement.

PSG saw off Dortmund in the Champions League round of 16 ties 3-2 on aggregate in March, when Meunier's performance impressed the German powerhouses.

Meunier moved to the Parc des Princes from Belgian club Brugge in 2016. He capped for the Ligue 1 giants in 128 games during the past four seasons and won three league titles with the team.
