( CNN ) -- Paris St Germain have completed the signing of Barcelona 's Brazilian left-back Maxwell on a three-and-a-half year contract for an undisclosed fee . The 30-year-old finalized his move on Thursday after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms with the big-spending French league leaders . Maxwell , who has never made a full international appearance for his country , joined Barcelona from Inter Milan in July 2009 , and played 57 La Liga matches for the club without scoring a goal . Who are football 's top January transfer targets ? In his two full seasons with the Catalan giants , Maxwell collected a remarkable 10 trophies ; three Spanish Super Cups , two European Super Cups , two League titles , two Club World Cups and one Champions League . However , he struggled to command a regular place in the Barcelona side , with compatriot Adriano and Frenchman Eric Abidal often selected ahead of him . PSG sporting director Leonardo told reporters : `` We 're thrilled , he is a player I have always liked and who plays in the same position that I used to play in -- we have something in common . '' Maxwell himself added : `` The main motivation for me to come here was the interest that PSG showed in me . The ambition the club has for the future also persuaded me to join . '' Paris St Germain , who appointed Italian Carlo Ancelotti as their new coach late last year and are boosted by funds from their cash-rich Qatari owners , are currently three points clear at the top of the French table .
