PSG transfer news: Donnarumma under pressure, Chevalier set to join!

Gianluigi Donnarumma, a 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 with a contract until 2026 (following the end of his at AC Milan), is at the heart of rumors. His extension is not coming and there is talk of a departure, with Lucas Chevalier (23 years old, Lille and French Team) to replace him. RMC Sport claims that the Parisian club has informed Donnarumma of Chevalier's arrival. The club wants to be transparent.

"The directors wanted to display a very transparent discourse to their goalkeeper"

"With his contract ending in June 2026, the Italian international was informed by his club, this week, of the imminent arrival of Lucas Chevalier, according to information from RMC Sport. The directors wanted to display a very transparent discourse to their goalkeeper, who they do not want to hide things from. Naturally, the news did not please Gianluigi Donnarumma. In the Italian's entourage, no comments are desired on the situation and they prefer to wait for the sequence of events.

"A five-year contract is already on the table for the French goalkeeper"

The Lucas Chevalier case, a priority for PSG's management, is progressing well. Negotiations with Losc have accelerated in recent days, both parties having accepted the idea of a transfer this summer. A five-year contract is already on the table for the French goalkeeper. Paris continues to negotiate with Lille a deal around 40 million euros excluding bonuses. Confidence is mutual on both sides about the feasibility of the transfer."

The announced arrival of Lucas Chevalier represents much more than a simple move in the market: it materializes Paris Saint-Germain's desire to take a new turn in its management of the goalkeeper position. If the Parisian management is accelerating discussions with Lille for a transfer worth 40 million euros, it is also to anticipate the possibility of the Italian refusing a contract extension, as no satisfactory agreement has been found to date.

Donnarumma, surrounded by uncertainties, is now under pressure: PSG does not rule out direct competition, but many already see it as a strong signal of an upcoming departure, especially as several major European clubs have inquired about his situation.

The arrival of Chevalier, voted best Ligue 1 goalkeeper, marks the choice of renewal and a project built on French talents, while perhaps setting up a dynamic of competition rarely seen in recent seasons in Paris.
