Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Thiago Motta has said that players have to be great champions in order to play for the Parisian club.

Motta, who signed a contract extension today, has spoken of the importance of future players' outlooks when joining PSG, stating that it is a privilege to play for Laurent Blanc's side.

"Today, there are a lot of players that want to play for Paris Saint-Germain, but it's not as easy as that," Motta told beIN Sports. "To play for Paris Saint-Germain now, you have to be a great champion.

"Those players that will play for Paris in the future need to know it's a privilege to play for Paris Saint-Germain and that you have to work very, very hard because Paris Saint-Germain is the very highest standard now, so there's every risk that you won't play."

PSG currently occupy top spot in Ligue 1 with 58 points.
