Transfers – PSG open talks over Lucas Digne return

Lucas Digne, Aston Villa’s 32-year-old left-back (under contract until 2028) and a France international who already played for Paris Saint-Germain from 2013 to 2016, has been mentioned as a PSG target for a return move through the activation of his release clause of around €10 million. Journalist Fabrizio Romano and Foot Mercato now confirm the Parisian club’s interest. There is even talk of initial discussions and Aston Villa looking for a replacement.

Fabrizio Romano:

Paris Saint-Germain have held initial talks over a possible move for Lucas Digne as their new left-back. PSG will act after the World Cup, but Aston Villa have started exploring options including Estupiñán and others. His Aston Villa contract includes a release clause worth more than €10m, as reported by Tom Collomosse.

Foot Mercato:

According to our information, the French champions are ready to trigger the Aston Villa player’s release clause, valued at €12 million, in order to secure his services. At the same time, the English club are already working on his replacement and have set their sights on Pervis Estupiñán, AC Milan’s Ecuadorian left-footer. It remains to be seen whether the man concerned, who has already spoken with the Parisian executives but is fully focused on the end of the World Cup, will accept the offer from his former club.

This was not really a move people expected, since PSG have recruited young players in recent years, but it is far from impossible to believe. In particular, because there have been several confirmations in a short space of time from journalists who are generally reliable. It would now be surprising if all of this turned out to be based on little or nothing.

From PSG’s point of view, it is a very good option, with plenty of experience and real quality, shown throughout the season as well as with the French national team. From Digne’s side, there is the “risk” of being a backup, but also the chance to return to a club he is attached to and where the hope of winning trophies is clear. Including the Champions League. With a release clause estimated at around €10 million, everything could move very quickly.

Even so, caution is still needed: nothing has been settled yet. An agreement between Digne and PSG is not guaranteed. We do not even know for sure whether there have been concrete talks. We know how quickly everything can move during the transfer window, which also plays out in the media. Here, it is not impossible that Digne’s camp are trying to apply pressure with a view to a contract extension.
