PSG are facing growing uncertainty in goal, and LOSC Lille’s Lucas Chevalier has surfaced as a potential long-term option. The 22-year-old French keeper is attracting significant interest as the summer transfer window is open.
Gianluigi Donnarumma remains under contract until 2026, but a string of costly mistakes has raised questions about his future. He’s had standout moments—especially in Champions League matches against Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal—but concerns about his consistency persist.
With PSG continuing to prioritize young French talent, this summer could be the right time to consider a change in net. According to SportsZone, Chevalier is firmly on the club’s radar, though any move will likely depend on PSG’s ability to offload Donnarumma, who has yet to fully win over Luis Enrique.
Manchester United are also keeping tabs. Per The Sun, they’re monitoring both Chevalier and Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens as uncertainty grows around André Onana’s future, with reports linking the Cameroonian goalkeeper to a possible move to Saudi Arabia.

With Donnarumma heading into the final year of his contract, this summer is the last in which the Parisians can secure a fee for the Italian, so a decision needs to be made before the summer window. Nonetheless, Le Parisien journalist Dominique Sévérac believes that PSG are in a no lose situation considering their backup plan.
“PSG are staying calm because they believe they’re in a win-win situation,” Sévérac wrote (h/t Foot01). “Either Donnarumma stays on the club’s terms, or a new goalkeeper arrives. If the negotiations fall through, several keepers have already been identified and approved by Luis Enrique.
“At the top of that list is Lille’s Lucas Chevalier, who was named Ligue 1’s best goalkeeper this season and is currently Didier Deschamps’ No. 2 with the French national team.”
Recently, ESPN reported, citing sources, that Aston Villa have contacted LOSC Lille about a potential move for 23-year-old Chevalier.
He’s seen as a possible replacement for Emiliano Martínez, who is looking to leave the club. Chevalier impressed this past season, particularly in the Champions League, and has been with Lille since the age of 10.
The French club is asking for a fee of around £40 million. PSG are also keeping tabs on him and consider Chevalier a backup option if they can’t agree to a contract extension with Gianluigi Donnarumma.
