Lucas Digne—the 32-year-old Aston Villa (contract running until 2028) and France national team left-back, who previously played for Paris Saint-Germain from 2013 to 2016—has been linked with a return to PSG via the activation of his release clause, valued at approximately €10 million. Numerous media outlets and journalists are reporting this Monday that the deal is finalized and the French international is set to undergo his medical examination today.

L’Equipe:
It’s a done deal this time. Lucas Digne (33) is set to become a Paris Saint-Germain player. The capital club, fresh off winning a second consecutive Champions League title this season, has triggered the release clause (estimated at around €10 million) for the Aston Villa defender, who still has two years remaining on his contract with the Premier League side.
It is hard to harbor doubts when all signs point in the same direction. Digne is expected to sign with PSG soon, following a medical examination prior to his vacation. This will settle the matter, allowing all parties to rest easy while the player takes a break. It would take a major surprise for the full-back not to become a PSG player in the coming hours.
As always, however, we await the official announcement for absolute certainty.
