Paris Saint-Germain has acquired goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from Lille for a deal potentially reaching €55m. The upfront payment is €40m, with €15m contingent on add-ons. Chevalier, 23, is anticipated to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma as the starting goalkeeper. Donnarumma, whose form declined last season, is being considered for a transfer with clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Inter Milan interested. Chevalier expressed excitement about joining PSG and is committed to performing at the highest level. PSG's season will open against Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Super Cup before their Ligue 1 match with Nantes.
Chevalier, by contrast, conceded 31 goals from shots with an xGoT value of 40.6, meaning he prevented 9.6 goals via his shot-stopping as Lille finished fifth.
Donnarumma only has one year remaining on his contract and saw his form dip last season, despite PSG's success.
