Overview

  • PSG finalized the signing of Lucas Chevalier from Lille on a contract through 2030 for around €40 million.
  • The club have named Chevalier as their first-choice goalkeeper under Luis Enrique, praising his distribution and fit with their play-from-the-back style.
  • Contract negotiations collapsed over Donnarumma’s wage demands and incentive-based pay structure, prompting his omission from the UEFA Super Cup squad.
  • Journalist reports indicate Wimbledon United, Chelsea and Inter Milan have all expressed formal interest in acquiring Donnarumma.
  • PSG prefer to sell Donnarumma this summer rather than risk losing him on a free transfer when his contract expires in 2026.
