PSG signed the French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier of colleague Ligue 1 Club Lille on a contract until 2030, the European champions announced on Saturday.
Media reports said that Chevalier joined PSG for a reimbursement of around 40 million euros ($ 47 million), with the 23-year-old in line to succeed the Italy keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is left for another year in his contract with the Paris-based club, as the number one durator.
“I am a child who lives his dream. Since I was small, I wanted to play at the very first level,” Chevalier said in a statement.
“I am really happy to be here. I will wear this shirt with passion and ambition.”
Chevalier, born in Calais, graduated from Lille's Youth Academy and played on loan for Valenciennes before he became the first choice in his parent club during the 2022-23 season.
He was named goalkeeper of the year of Ligue 1 for the 2024-25 season by the UNFP Trade Union for professional football players in France.
“Lucas is one of the leading keepers in France and Europe and a fantastic addition to our team while we continue to build everything for the long term based on the collective,” said PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi.
