Lucas Chevalier, 23-year-old goalkeeper for Lille (contract until 2027) and the French national team, is reportedly close to Paris Saint-Germain in this transfer window to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma (26, contract until 2026, extension blocked). Journalist Sacha Tavolieri confirms that an agreement has been reached and even mentions an upcoming medical.
Paris Saint-Germain and LOSC reached an agreement this Monday evening for Lucas Chevalier. A proposal close to €50 million, including bonuses, confirms our information revealed Saturday afternoon. PSG is finalizing the details before a medical scheduled for the end of the week. Lucas Chevalier has a 5-year contract at PSG.”
This is a very important step forward. Be careful, it’s not yet certain, given the rumors. But it’s entirely credible. At least, that’s been the trend over the past few days. But we also know that the transfer window can change quickly as long as there’s no concrete news.
So we’re remaining cautious while we wait for confirmation from a club or Chevalier. It’s possible he’ll arrive to take the number 1 role at PSG, a huge step in his career. As for Donnarumma, the blockage may be permanent. Beware of a surprise, though.
