PARIS (AFP) - AS Roma's former French international Ludovic Giuly on Friday signed for Paris St Germain, the Parisian club's president Charles Villeneuve announced.

The 32-year-old former Barcelona star is reported to have penned a 2.5 million euro deal.

"I'm very, very happy to play for Paris. There is a great expectation of the club and the coach," said Giuly on Friday after passing his medical.

"For me it is very important to have confidence. The president has given me his word. I will do everything to make it work."

But Giuly warned that he could not be expected to turn the club around on his own, saying: "I'm not a Zorro to change everything."

Rumours linking the midfielder, who won 17 international caps and netted on three occasions, with a move back to France have been rife but Villeneuve said he had received faxed confirmation from the Italian club.

"I'm going to try and bring my style of play, my experience, my rage on the pitch," added Giuly, who played for Lyon between 1994 and 1997.

PSG had a disappointing 2007-08 season under coach Paul Le Guen, winning the League Cup but only narrowly avoiding relegation on the final day of play.

Giuly - who won the French championship with Monaco in 2000 - is PSG's second new recruit, following the signing of Le Mans' Benin international Stephane Sessegnon last week.
