Currently representing the France national team at the World Cup, Lucas Digne has discreetly finalized his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in recent days. The defender is poised to depart Aston Villa and make his way back to the Parc des Princes this summer. It appears the 32-year-old left-back recently affirmed his agreement with PSG to his fellow ‘Bleus’ in the locker room.
The summer transfer window for Paris Saint-Germain is expected to gain significant momentum once the 2026 World Cup concludes. However, an initial, rather unexpected transfer has already been secured by the capital club: Lucas Digne, the 32-year-old left-back for the France national team, is set to rejoin the Parc des Princes a decade after his initial departure. PSG management has opted to activate his release clause from Aston Villa, reportedly around €10 million, to bring Digne back as a backup for Nuno Mendes.
“Lucas Digne confirmed it because he has an agreement”
Insights into Lucas Digne’s transfer saga, unfolding during the World Cup, reveal that while the move to PSG isn’t officially 100% complete, his signing for Paris Saint-Germain is imminent. His teammates on the France squad playfully teased him, as the national team’s locker room increasingly resembles that of PSG. They had seen reports in the press, prompting Lucas Digne to confirm his three-year agreement with Paris Saint-Germain. All that remains is for the club to activate the clause, valued at less than €10 million, once his World Cup commitments are over.
“Everyone is happy”
Lucas Digne has accepted the role of Nuno Mendes’ understudy for two primary reasons. Firstly, this project aligns perfectly with his family’s needs, offering a very Parisian family environment, and his family adores the capital city. He even has children who are avid supporters of Paris Saint-Germain, making everyone delighted with his father’s impending signing. While he could have secured a more lucrative deal elsewhere, he will undoubtedly be content with this choice, emphasizing that there is truly only one city like Paris in the world. He has indeed confided the details of his upcoming summer transfer to PSG to his France national team colleagues.
