Sharjah 24 – AFP: Paris Saint-Germain, the champions of France and Europe, have officially signed goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from Lille for €40 million, according to media reports.

Contract until 2030

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: "A boy living his dream"

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.

Nominated for the Yashin Trophy

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.

Donnarumma's future in question

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.

Chevalier set to be first choice

Sources close to the club revealed that PSG's sporting director Luis Campos assured Chevalier he would be the team’s starting goalkeeper.

Expected to feature in UEFA Super Cup

Chevalier is expected to be included in PSG’s squad for the UEFA Super Cup final against Tottenham, scheduled for Wednesday.
