United turned down a world-record offer for a goalkeeper in women’s football when Arsenal came in for Earps last year.
Earps is the third big name to leave United on a free transfer over the last 12 months after Alessia Russo and Ona Batlle both departed last season.
PSG had initially been interested in signing the 31-year-old England goalkeeper during the January window.
The French side’s interest had been the strongest of the many clubs wanting Earps since she had become available to talk to other teams in January.
The signing represents the start of what promises to be a busy summer at PSG with Griege Mbock also expected to join from rivals Lyon.
When does the summer transfer window open and close?
The 2024 summer transfer window in the Premier League and Scottish Premiership is officially open.
The window will close on August 30 at 11pm UK time in England and at 11.30pm in Scotland.
