France midfielder Mathieu Valbuena has signed for Dynamo Moscow, the Russian club says.
The former Olympique de Marseille midfielder played four of France's five games at the World Cup and had been linked with Spanish club Valencia and England's West Ham United.
On the Dynamo website, Valbuena says his new club is "an interesting project that I'd like to take part in" and that the club's league and European ambitions "completely match mine."
Valbuena is not expected to take part in Dynamo's first domestic league match of the season Sunday against FC Rostov, but could play in Thursday's Europa League qualifier against Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Valbuena joined Marseille in 2006 from Libourne and won the Ligue 1 title in 2010. He has scored six times in 38 games for France.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
