Lucas Digne confirms Paris Saint-Germain move during World Cup

This transfer saga has concluded with remarkable speed. Within a matter of hours, events rapidly unfolded, paving the way for Lucas Digne to return to Paris Saint-Germain, a decade after his initial departure. Reports emerged on Monday morning, quickly gaining traction and confirming what had initially been a mere rumor. The France national team left-back, who remains under contract with Aston Villa until June 2028, became the subject of light-hearted teasing within the locker room regarding his impending move.

Teammates tease Digne over transfer reports

The atmosphere in the France national team locker room, which is increasingly resembling that of Paris Saint-Germain, saw Lucas Digne playfully ribbed by his colleagues. While it may not be 100% finalized, his signing with the Paris Saint-Germain is imminent. His teammates teased him after seeing the news widely reported, just ahead of the World Cup semi-final match between the France national team and Spain.

Digne confirms three-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain

Lucas Digne has indeed confirmed his agreement with PSG to his Bleus teammates. He has a three-year contract in place with the Paris Saint-Germain. All that remains is for the club to activate a clause, reportedly under €10M, once he is free after the conclusion of the World Cup. Digne’s decision to accept a role as Nuno Mendes’ backup is driven by two key factors: he prioritizes a project that perfectly suits his family, desiring a Parisian family environment, as his family, including his children, are fervent fans of the capital and Paris Saint-Germain. Despite potentially higher earnings elsewhere, Digne is content with this choice, recognizing the unique appeal of Paris. The successful completion of this transfer is now beyond doubt.
