Bayer Leverkusen have completed the signing of defender Facundo Medina from Marseille in a deal worth up to €25m.
Medina joins Leverkusen after enjoying a fine individual campaign on loan at Marseille from Lens, making 26 appearances across all competitions.
Leverkusen had seen an initial bid for Medina rejected by Marseille, but they were able to agree a deal that was announced on Tuesday.
"At the World Cup, Exequiel Palacios told me a lot about the club and spoke very highly of Leverkusen.
"Pala has been here for so long and has enjoyed great success – that's something I'd like to experience with Bayer 04 too."
