Paris Saint-Germain has acquired Lucas Chevalier from Lille for a transfer fee of 40 million, plus 15 million in bonuses. Chevalier, at 23 years of age, has completed his medical check and will replace Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is likely to exit the club this summer. Donnarumma sought to negotiate an extension, but differences regarding his desired salary increase and the club's new pay structure hindered talks. Notably, PSG manager Luis Enrique favored Chevalier for his superior distribution skills, marking a strategic shift in the team's goalkeeping approach.
Paris Saint-Germain have signed Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier on a five-year contract for a fee of 40 million ($47 million) plus an additional 15 million ($17m) in potential bonuses.
Gianluigi Donnarumma, who played a key role in PSG's history-making season last year, will find a new club this summer as PSG do not want to keep him.
Donnarumma wanted to extend his deal in the French capital, but the two parties never found an agreement, partly due to disagreements over salary structure.
Manager Luis Enrique preferred a keeper with better distribution and comfort with the ball at his feet, which Chevalier demonstrates.
