PSG Signs Lucas Chevalier as Donnarumma Future Doubt Grows

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has signed French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from Lille on a five-year contract reportedly worth around €40 million, signaling a potential end to Gianluigi Donnarumma's time at the club. Chevalier, 23, was named Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of the Year for the 2024–25 season and impressed with standout performances in the Champions League, particularly against top teams like Real Madrid and Juventus. Despite Donnarumma's key role and strong performances that helped PSG win the Champions League, contract renewal talks have stalled due to his wage demands conflicting with PSG's new wage policy, making his departure likely. Chevalier is expected to become PSG's first-choice goalkeeper under coach Luis Enrique, who now oversees a goalkeeping roster including Donnarumma, Matvei Safonov, Arnau Tenas, and Renato Marin, creating a competitive environment. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi described Chevalier as a "fantastic reinforcement," and the club has reportedly assured Chevalier of the No. 1 goalkeeper status. Donnarumma has been linked with a move to Manchester United amid their goalkeeping concerns, as PSG looks to manage a surplus of top goalkeepers effectively.
