PSG's interest in the France international has been long-standing, but talks have now entered a more concrete phase, with PSG holding discussions over a five-year deal.

Chevalier, who is under contract at Lille until 2027, has agreed broad personal terms with the Ligue 1 champions, leaving the two clubs to settle the final details. PSG are aware that Lille president Olivier Létang will not be an easy negotiator, and are preparing to meet an asking price that could exceed €40 million. While the fee itself is not expected to be a stumbling block, negotiations over add-ons, clauses and bonuses could take longer to finalise.

Lille, who are already exploring potential replacements abroad, are bracing for the goalkeeper’s departure.

A sign of Donnarumma's departure?

Chevalier’s potential arrival in Paris raises fresh questions about the future of Gianluigi Donnarumma. Talks over a contract extension for the Italian, whose current deal runs until 2026, have stalled since the Club World Cup. Behind the scenes, Donnarumma is understood to have been considering a move for some time, despite giving little away publicly.

Manchester United and Manchester City have both kept a watching brief, and PSG are keen to secure Chevalier’s signature before opening the door to Donnarumma’s possible exit.

Chevalier’s career so far

Lucas Chevalier’s rise at Lille has been steady and impressive. A product of the club’s academy, he spent the 2020–21 title-winning season as third-choice behind Mike Maignan and Orestis Karnezis. A loan spell at Valenciennes in Ligue 2 followed, where he made his professional debut in September 2021.

Chevalier returned to Lille and made his first-team debut in September 2022 against Marseille. He quickly made an impression, producing a standout performance in the Derby du Nord against Lens, where he saved a penalty and earned a spot in L’Équipe’s Team of the Week. He later revealed Mike Maignan had phoned him before the match with words of encouragement.

In January 2023, Chevalier signed a new deal until 2027, cementing his role as Lille’s number one. A year later, he was instrumental in a famous 1–0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League, earning high praise from French and international media.

Celtic 2 - 0 Braga Celtic suffered further European disappointment as goals in each half and a controversial disallowed equaliser earned Braga victory in what was a chaotic encounter. Author |  Sean M Stadium |  Celtic Park Kick-off Kasper Schmeichel had an error-strewn game in goal and failed to keep out Ricardo Horta 's early long-range effort, which stunned the Celtic Park crowd into silence. The Dane then did well to keep out a late shot but was helpless when the ball bounced off Gabri Martinez in a botched clearance and rebounded into the net to seal all the points. After their Champions League qualification failure against Kairat Almaty , and an opening Europa League draw with Red Star Belgrade , this continued Celtic's disappointing start to their European campaign. In fact, so sharp has been the drop-off since last season, that Brendan Rodgers ' side may struggle to qualify for the latter stages of the Europa League unless they can find their way again, and q...

Chelsea 1 - 0 Benfica  A much-needed win for Chelsea as they picked up their first points of their Champions League campaign. Author |  Lauren W Stadium | Stamford Bridge  View from the stands José Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge ended in disappointment as Chelsea edged past his new club Benfica with a narrow Champions League win sealed by Richard Rios ’ first-half own goal.  The affection from the home crowd was evident, with Mourinho serenaded throughout and responding with waves to both ends of the ground, but the evening turned on a moment of misfortune when the Colombian midfielder diverted Alejandro Garnacho ’s driven cross beyond his own goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin . Chelsea, however, did little to convince despite the victory. Garnacho spurned chances on his second start and teenage substitute Estevão Willian forced only a late save from Trubin, while João Pedro ’s stoppage-time dismissal for a second booking made it three red cards in four matches ...
