The 35-year-old, who spent five years at Stamford Bridge, will be unveiled by PSG at a news conference on Monday. "Everyone at Chelsea would like to thank Claude for the service he has given us," said a club statement. Makelele joined Chelsea from Spanish giants Real Madrid in 2003, costing the Stamford Bridge outfit ÂŁ16.8m. He won two Premier League titles and played 217 times for Chelsea, scoring two goals in the process. The statement added: "Claude has been a key part of our trophy success and we wish him well for the future. "He will always be welcomed back to Stamford Bridge in the future either as a player or friend of the club." Makelele's last match for the club was their Champions League final defeat by Manchester United in Moscow in May. He retired from international football - for the second time - in June after their disappointing exit from Euro 2008, after winning 71 caps. Source: BBC
