This Sunday, June 28, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, regarding Paris Saint-Germain, on the almost confirmed arrival of Lucas Digne (the 33-year-old left-back from Aston Villa and the French national team), the Ferran Torres track (the 26-year-old forward from FC Barcelona and Spain), and Lucas Chevalier (the 24-year-old goalkeeper), who is expected to stay. There is also the possibility of the 2038 World Cup in France and the upcoming arrival of head coach Zinédine Zidane.

On the transfer front, Digne’s arrival is almost certain, while several media outlets have reported that he has already successfully completed his medical. The signing is expected this Tuesday, with an official announcement likely to follow shortly after. Things are less advanced for Torres, a genuine Parisian target. But he would not be the only forward on their radar, and everything remains open. As for Chevalier, the idea is for him to continue at PSG and fight to become the starter again. It is not certain yet, but it is quite believable that the goalkeeper will dig in and stay.
As for the World Cup, seeing it return to France is clearly a real possibility, but nothing has been decided and we will have to wait to find out the final decision. It also remains to be seen whether the trend of hosting a World Cup across several countries will continue. The 2030 edition will be held in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.
It should be with Zidane at the head of the French national team, even if changes by then cannot be ruled out. For now, the mood is one of excitement over this long-awaited major change. We hope his time in charge lives up to expectations, even if that will be difficult given how high they are.
