Lucas Chevalier officially becomes the first summer reinforcement of the PSG European champion.
It is now engraved in marble.
Lucas Chevalier is officially committed to Paris Saint-Germain for five seasonsuntil 2030. The European champion club has just completed its first summer recruit against 40 million euros paid in Lille,
making the 23 year old porter the most expensive French guardian in history. A signature that marks the start of a new era in Parisian goals.

This sum of 40 million euros testifies to the confidence placed as a knight by Luis Enrique and Luis Campos. Meilleur Ligue 1 goalkeeper according to the UNFP trophies and appointed to the Yachine Trophy, the northerner arrives with solid references. Its European performances with Lille, especially in the Champions League, convinced the Parisian management to invest massively in the future.
The first statements of the new Parisian goalkeeper reflect a palpable emotion. “I am a kid who is realizing his dream”, confides knight on the club website. This humility contrasts with the usual standards of PSG, more customary of jaded stars. Nasser al-Khelaïfi is not mistaken by greeting “One of the best guards in Europe” and a “Fantastic reinforcement”. The Parisian president clearly puts on this northern freshness to maintain the ambitions of the intact club.
This formalization inevitably relaunches the debate concerning the future of Gianluigi Donnarumma. Italian does not intend to give in his throne easily and
said it via an explicit Instagram message: “Number 1”. This declaration of intentions announces a fratricidal battle between the two guards to conquer the favors of Luis Enrique.

Donnarumma on departure?
The two clubs of Manchester and Chelsea carefully monitor the situation of the former porter of Milan Ac. Paris is a seller but not at any cost for a player of this caliber. The contractual problem still complicates the equation: Donnarumma arrives at the end of the contract in 2026, which could drop its market value if no agreement is found quickly.
This forced cohabitation between knight and Donnarumma promises to be explosive. Luis Enrique will have to decide between the Italian experience and the French promise. A luxury puzzle that testifies to PSG XXL ambitions to defend its European title. In any case, the arrival of Chevalier marks a turning point in the Parisian recruitment policy, now favoring young tricolor talents with aging international stars.
