French international Lucas Digne is on the verge of rejoining Paris Saint-Germain, with reports indicating a deal is nearly finalized. The left-back, currently with the national squad in the United States, is set to depart Aston Villa and commit to the Parisian club until June 2029. Notably, Digne has already shared this significant career move with his teammates from the French national team.
This transfer saga has concluded with remarkable speed. Within just a few hours, events rapidly unfolded, paving the way for Lucas Digne to once again become a player for Paris Saint-Germain, a decade after his initial departure. The initial buzz emerged on Monday morning, swiftly gaining traction across various sports media outlets, solidifying what began as a rumor into a confirmed development. The French national team’s left-back, who was under contract with Aston Villa until June 2028, found himself at the center of playful teasing within the locker room.
“they teased him because they saw it in the press”
“While we can’t declare Lucas Digne’s move to PSG 100% complete, he is indeed set to sign with Paris Saint-Germain. His teammates have already been teasing him, as the French national team’s locker room is beginning to resemble PSG’s more and more. The banter started because they had seen the news circulating in the press,” a source close to the situation revealed on Monday evening, just ahead of the World Cup semi-final clash between the French team and Spain.
“lucas digne confirmed it to them because he has an agreement with Paris saint-germain for a 3-year contract”
Furthermore, it has been confirmed that Lucas Digne himself formalized his agreement with PSG to his fellow Bleus players. “Lucas Digne personally confirmed it to them, having reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain for a three-year contract. All that remains is to activate the clause, reportedly less than €10 million, once he is available after the World Cup. Lucas Digne is willing to be Nuno Mendes’ backup for two key reasons: he chose this project because it perfectly suits his family, offering a very Parisian family environment, and his family adores the capital. His children are even fans of Paris Saint-Germain. Everyone is delighted that their father is signing. He could have earned significantly more elsewhere, but he will not be unhappy, as there is only one city in the world like Paris.” The outcome of this transfer operation is now beyond doubt.
