Lucas Chevalier, the 23-year-old Lille goalkeeper (under contract until 2027) and member of the French national team, is reportedly close to joining Paris Saint-Germain during this transfer window to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma (26, under contract until 2026, with contract extension talks stalled). Fabrizio Romano reports that a deal with the Lille player is close. He also adds that Donnarumma could potentially stay and compete with the French goalkeeper.
“An agreement between Lille and PSG for Chevalier is reportedly very close — around €40 million!
English clubs are said to be interested in Donnarumma, but there’s also the possibility of the Italian staying and facing competition from Chevalier.

PSG is aiming for a fresh start in the goalkeeper position. The imminent arrival of Lucas Chevalier (23) for a record fee could shake things up, as Gianluigi Donnarumma (26) is already attracting interest from English clubs. This move underlines Paris’s ambition to rejuvenate its squad and introduce real internal competition, raising questions about the Italian keeper’s future.
The club’s decision will be crucial for the stability of the position this summer. However, true competition at such a specialized role seems unlikely — especially considering the ambitions of both Chevalier and Donnarumma.
