Lucas Chevalier, 23-year-old goalkeeper for Lille (contract until 2027) and the French national team, is reportedly close to Paris Saint-Germain in this transfer window to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma (26, contract until 2026, extension blocked). L’Equipe reported this Sunday evening that PSG has made a first concrete offer to LOSC.
“After reaching an agreement with the goalkeeper on a five-year contract, PSG sent an offer to Lille for an amount estimated at less than €40 million. This first offer will be rejected by LOSC, who expect at least €40 million and want to find a replacement before letting Chevalier leave. Lille’s priority is Antonín Kinský. A loan is currently being negotiated with Tottenham.”
We remain cautious; there is still nothing official. The rumor mill continues without confirmation. This leaves room for a new twist. But all the media are pointing in the same direction, possibly because something is really happening.
This offer, even if it risks being rejected, is a way to concretely launch negotiations. It still needs to be “serious” compared to the Lille price. This should quickly become clear, with an agreement, a blockage, or a clear denial.
