Lucas Chevalier, 23-year-old goalkeeper from Lille (contract until 2027) and the French national team, is very close to Paris Saint-Germain in this transfer window, likely with the mission of replacing Gianluigi Donnarumma (26, contract until 2026 and extension blocked). L’Equipe reported this Saturday morning that he is expected to participate in today’s training session.
“Lucas Chevalier became a Paris Saint-Germain player yesterday, now all that’s missing is the official announcement from the capital club. The goalkeeper passed his medical and signed his contract with PSG today. He is due to start training with Luis Enrique’s squad this morning.”
Images of Chevalier’s photoshoot have leaked; there’s little doubt about his arrival in the capital. We’re mainly waiting for the timing of the official announcement, which will likely be made this morning. This would be logical, since that’s all that’s missing, and participation in today’s training session is indeed expected.
PSG is under no obligation, but it makes sense to release the press release before the session. This will allow Chevalier to begin familiarizing himself with the squad ahead of Wednesday’s European Super Cup against Tottenham.
