PSG transfer: Chevalier to join Paris, deal done by Friday

Lucas Chevalier, the 23-year-old goalkeeper from Lille (contract until 2027) and the French national team, is announced to be close to Paris Saint-Germain in this transfer market to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years old, contract until 2026 and extension blocked). L'Equipe now confirms that he will undergo his medical examination this Friday, after traveling tonight.

“Lucas Chevalier is expected in Paris this evening and will undergo his medical examination on Friday, after PSG reached an agreement with Lille for the recruitment of the 23-year-old goalkeeper for an estimated amount of just over 40 million euros, excluding bonuses. While the transfer could reach 55 million euros including bonuses included in the transaction, the player trained at Lille is expected to become the most expensive goalkeeper in French football, far ahead of Sébastien Frey, transferred from Inter to Parma for 21 million euros in July 2003.”

The medical examination had already been mentioned by Le Parisien, so this is a confirmation and a reason to no longer have any serious doubts. It would take a bad surprise during this famous step. Which is rare. But it happens. It's too early to fully rejoice, even if the time is of course optimistic.

There is also the debate surrounding this arrival while Donnarumma's future is not settled. There are points to be clarified, of course. But Chevalier is a very talented goalkeeper and seeing him commit to Paris in the long term is appreciable.
