Lucas Chevalier, 23-year-old goalkeeper for 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). Several journalists and media outlets reported this Friday that the medical is underway and that PSG is preparing the official announcement.
Sacha Tavolieri :
“Lucas Chevalier is currently undergoing his medical in Paris. The goalkeeper will put pen to paper for a five-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain this afternoon. Photos, communications, and marketing will follow before his arrival is made official.
Sealed.”
Ici Paris :
“LOSC goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier is joining PSG next season, ICI Paris-Île-de-France and ICI Nord (formerly France Bleu) have learned from concordant sources. The 23-year-old French international goalkeeper is due to sign a contract worth just over 40 million euros this Friday afternoon, according to several media outlets. He will sign a five-year contract with the Parisian club. His medical is scheduled for today.”
Romain Collet Gaudin :
“PSG is preparing communications for the transfer of Lucas Chevalier.
Luis Enrique’s decision has been validated by Paris Saint-Germain management.”
With so much confirmation, there’s no longer any doubt: Chevalier is arriving at PSG, and it should be official in the next few hours. He’s Paris’s first major signing this summer, even if the situation is a bit unusual given Donnarumma’s situation.
We hope, in any case, that this is just the beginning of a more concrete transfer window that’s picking up pace. Ilya Zabarnyi (22-year-old defender from Bournemouth and Ukraine) should follow suit fairly quickly.
