Chevalier explains why he chose to sign for PSG

It's official, 23-year-old goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier has committed to Paris Saint-Germain until 2030.

Chevalier "It's clearly the best team in France, and probably in Europe"

« I've never won against Paris. When we came to the Parc, we often fell into periods where the Club was in great form. We paid the price, in a way. But these are also matches where I was able to stand out. My first match at the Parc des Princes, we lost 4-3. These are not the most pleasant memories for a goalkeeper, but it leaves a mark. The atmosphere at the Parc is unique. It's clearly the best team in France, and probably in Europe. Having the chance to join them is exceptional. »

Chevalier "I think it's beneficial for me, for the club, and also for the national team."

You had your first call-up to the French national team last year. As a French international, was it important for you to continue your progression in France?

« I think it's symbolic: a French goalkeeper in Paris, it's always positive. I'm from the North, so the proximity to the capital also made my choice easier. There's the language, of course. Even if there are many foreign players here, I think they are very well integrated. Everything is done to help us adapt quickly to the culture and environment. I have my family who will be close, good conditions to progress... When I weighed the pros and cons, there were many pros. So yes, I think it's beneficial for me, for the club, and also for the national team. It reinforces the image of the championship, and it will allow me, I hope, to perform at the highest level. »

It's evident that for a French international goalkeeper, playing for the best club in Ligue 1 and Europe is of great importance. Of course, playing time counts enormously, and if he is a PSG player today, it's above all to occupy the number one spot.

He also has an advantage today, which is not having to adapt to the championship, the country, or the language. Chevalier could therefore quickly demonstrate the full extent of his talent without going through a period of adjustment. Overall, on several points, this recruitment is very good news for the player and the capital club.

On his side, the former Lille player is also aiming for the 2026 World Cup. Being number one at PSG, it's evident that Chevalier can claim to rise in the national team hierarchy. Even if the competition is fierce, he is undoubtedly one of the best in his position, and this signing with PSG makes him take another step forward.
