UCAS Chevalier, the 23-year-old goalkeeper for Lille (contract until 2027) and the French national team, is reported to be close to signing with Paris Saint-Germain in this transfer window to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years old, contract until 2026 and extension blocked). Journalist Fabrizio Romano stated on Tuesday that the transfer to PSG is almost complete.
He is a generally reliable journalist who is not in the habit of making such assertive statements at random. We can therefore assume that the transfer is indeed imminent. Everyone is pointing in the same direction, which is a sign. However, caution is advised, as there remains some doubt until it is official. We will wait for confirmation from a club or the player for certainty. Especially since Donnarumma’s situation also needs to be resolved.
But it seems that Chevalier will be joining PSG, with the hope of confirming his place at the top level. And perhaps a profile that fits a little better with coach Luis Enrique’s style of play, even if the Frenchman is not yet a reference in terms of his footwork.
