Lucas Digne, 32-year-old left back (33 on July 20) from Aston Villa (contract until 2028) and the French team who was already at Paris Saint-Germain from 2013 to 2016, was announced as a PSG lead for a return by activating his release clause of around 10 million euros. Le Parisien and journalist Abdellah Boulma in turn confirm that this file is very advanced.
Le Parisien :
Parisian leaders have set their sights on Lucas Digne, who wore the colors of PSG between 2013 and 2015. According to our information, negotiations between the different parties started several weeks ago and are on very good track. Under contract until 2028, the player who scored 7 assists last season has a release clause estimated at 12 million euros, according to the English, and which should not be a hindrance in this well-established issue. After eight seasons spent in the Premier League, at Everton and Aston Villa, the former Losc player would not be opposed to a return to the French championship and under the jersey of the capital club.
Abdellah Boulma:
“Everything indicates that Lucas Digne is heading towards a return to PSG. Highly appreciated by Luis Enrique, the file is on excellent track. The operation is estimated at less than €10 million”
These are new confirmations, enough to think that there is something solid behind it. Even if it’s not enough for certainty, because we know that the transfer window can go very quickly. For example, there was nothing mentioned in this file this morning. Now, Digne is getting closer to a return to PSG to attempt a second adventure, more convincing than the last, with his progress and experience.
He would undoubtedly come as an understudy for Nuno Mendes (24 years old), but also be careful of the real competition so dear to coach Luis Enrique. In any case, it would be a very good option for PSG, as the full-back has shown all season with Aston Villa and currently at the World Cup. His release clause, estimated at around 10 million euros, can be seen as a good opportunity with an interesting negotiation for reinforcement in a position where there is a “lack” in Paris. Lucas Hernandez (30 years old) is present, but his very defensive profile does not really correspond to Luis Enrique’s idea. We can envisage that he would be placed more in the center, while Lucas Beraldo (22 years old) now plays in the middle. Let’s still wait for certainties, nothing has been signed yet.
