Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi expressed his delight on the club’s official website, stating: "Paris Saint-Germain is pleased to welcome Lucas Chevalier to our family."
The 23-year-old goalkeeper has signed a contract that runs until 2030.
Chevalier, for his part, said: "I’m a boy living his dream," expressing his pride in joining one of Europe’s top clubs.
Chevalier shone with Lille last season in both Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League, helping the team secure a fifth-place finish and a spot in the Europa League.
Chevalier was also among the nominees for the Yashin Trophy, awarded by France Football magazine to the world’s best goalkeeper during the Ballon d’Or ceremony.
The signing raises questions about the future of PSG’s current first-choice goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, especially after both parties failed to agree on a contract extension. His current deal runs until June 2026.
Despite playing a key role in PSG’s treble last season — including a dominant 5-0 UEFA Champions League final win over Inter Milan — Donnarumma has reportedly attracted interest from several Premier League clubs.
Sources close to the club revealed that PSG's sporting director Luis Campos assured Chevalier he would be the team’s starting goalkeeper.
Chevalier is expected to be included in PSG’s squad for the UEFA Super Cup final against Tottenham, scheduled for Wednesday.
