Overview

  • Lucas Chevalier completed a five-year deal with PSG for a €40 million fee plus up to €15 million in add-ons and has been confirmed as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
  • Gianluigi Donnarumma declined PSG’s revised bonus-centric contract offer and enters the final year of his deal as he explores moves away from Paris.
  • Manager Luis Enrique prioritized distribution and build-from-the-back skills in goal, prompting the club to favor Chevalier’s style over Donnarumma’s traditional shot-stopping profile.
  • Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Inter Milan have all contacted Donnarumma’s agent, Enzo Raiola, to register interest in the Italy international.
  • Under sporting director Luis Campos, PSG are enforcing a performance-linked remuneration policy to recoup transfer value on departing stars and avoid free departures.
