PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have signed Chelsea goalkeeper Marcin Bulka, according to reports.
With the deal seemingly done – albeit not officially just yet – Bulka becomes PSG’s first signing of the summer.
His contract at Chelsea ran out at the end of the season and he was expected to be let go.
So Bulka, 19, has joined the French champions for free on a three-year deal, according to Le Parisien.
It is understood the deal was already agreed and he was in Paris yesterday for a photoshoot.
PSG’s sporting director Leonardo was in attendance, along with Bulka’s agent.
He will now set to become the club’s third-choice goalkeeper.
Following Gianluigi Buffon’s departure this summer, Alphonse Areola will be the No1 for Thomas Tuchel.
Kevin Trapp spent last season at Eintracht Frankfurt and it is still unclear if he will return to the Parc des Princes.
Sebastien Cibois will therefore be Areola’s understudy with youngster Bulka not expected to feature in the first team.
Bulka signed for Chelsea from FCB Escola Varsovia in 2016.
But despite being a regular in the youth teams and even featuring in Maurizio Sarri’s pre-season in 2018, he never forced his way into the first-team.

The Polish youth international decided he did not want to stay at Chelsea and had plenty of European clubs vying for his signature.
Bulka becomes the second goalkeeper to depart Chelsea this summer following Rob Green’s retirement after lifting the Europa League.
That leaves the new Blues boss with Kepa Arrizabalaga and Willy Caballero as well as youngsters Jamie Cumming, Jamal Blackman, Nathan Baxter and Karlo Ziger.
