Lucas Chevalier, 23-year-old goalkeeper from Lille (contract until 2027) and the French national team, is rumored to be close to Paris Saint-Germain in this transfer window to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years old, contract until 2026 and extension blocked). RMC Sport takes stock with a big surprise in this case: both goalkeepers could be at PSG next season.
“The outright transfer should be around €40 million. Chevalier has already agreed with PSG on a five-year contract.”
“Negotiations with Lille, which have been ongoing for several weeks, have accelerated in recent days. There is no agreement yet, but in principle, both parties have accepted the idea of the transfer.
Lille was still demanding nearly €55 million in recent days. In this case, bonuses will make the difference. The outright transfer should be around €40 million. Chevalier has already agreed with PSG on a five-year contract.
This matter is inevitably linked to that of Gianluigi Donnarumma. PSG has made several offers to extend the contract of its Italian goalkeeper, whose contract expires in June 2026. They have all been rejected. Donnarumma believes he is eligible for better terms after his performances last season.”
“Internally, the possibility of Chevalier and Donnarumma competing is not ruled out.”
In any case, Donnarumma has options. Manchester United, Manchester City, Galatasaray, and Saudi clubs are interested. However, he remains committed to PSG and will only leave if a project suits him 100%.
Internally, the possibility of Chevalier and Donnarumma competing is not ruled out, with Luis Enrique deciding.”
All the media outlets agree that PSG is moving toward Chevalier’s transfer, and it’s probably not for nothing. Even if that doesn’t guarantee anything, given how quickly things have changed during the transfer window until concrete details emerge.
For example, there’s the potential competition that no one saw coming. Could Chevalier and Donnarumma accept it? It’s a fairly rare situation for goalkeepers to have two real contenders for the starting spot. With the Lille player starting to be called up to the French national team, it would be a risk and a surprise.
But it’s not impossible either. It depends on each player’s confidence and personality. Let’s wait and see. The rumors continue to multiply, without any official confirmation.
