PSG transfers: Chevalier and Donnarumma, all options open

Lucas Chevalier, the 23-year-old goalkeeper from Lille (contract until 2027) and the French national team, is rumored to be close to joining Paris Saint-Germain in this transfer market to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years old, contract until 2026 and extension blocked). L'Equipe provides an update this Wednesday morning, emphasizing that nothing is yet finalized in this sensitive case. Except that there will be no competition if they are both in Paris.

"Positions seem frozen, but nothing can be ruled out."

"Discussions between Chevalier, PSG, and LOSC for a transfer that should be around 40 million euros have been ongoing for several days. To date, nothing has been signed, neither between Paris and the goalkeeper nor between the two clubs, but the positions are no longer very far apart, and optimism is present in all parties. The timing still requires caution, as meetings were scheduled between Parisian decision-makers and the Donnarumma clan. In the game of poker they've been playing for months, positions seem frozen, but nothing can be ruled out definitively."

"Out of the question to relive a competition."

The Italian is linked to PSG until June 2026, nothing can prevent him from seeing out his contract. That's what his entourage is leaking, to put a bit of pressure on. He's disappointed because he thought Paris would change its position and make a gesture. But since the club remains firm on the structure of the new contract, the goalkeeper has been admitting in private for weeks that he's not ruling out continuing his story elsewhere. Recently, it wasn't envisioned internally to put him aside or send him with the reserves, as his attitude has always been loyal and professional. In recent weeks, the club's decision-makers have been clear to their interlocutors: out of the question to relive a competition."

We find here the essence of the transfer market, with strong rumors, a certain excitement, but at the same time uncertainty until something concrete happens. Chevalier's arrival, coupled with Donnarumma's departure, still seems to be the likely scenario. However, one of the media outlets that supported this rumor is taking precautions by emphasizing that the announced movements are not certain.

Chevalier may not come, while a Donnarumma extension remains possible. It's a reminder that everything can change very quickly, and rumors and concrete actions are not the same. We're waiting, as always, for certainties.

Even if we suspect that there wouldn't be competition between the two goalkeepers. Neither should be satisfied with such a situation. Let's hope for something concrete soon to see clearly.
