PSG nears surprise Lucas Digne return from Aston Villa
Lucas Digne, the French international left-back, appears poised to make a sensational return to Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The 32-year-old defender, who previously wore the PSG shirt between 2013 and 2016, has reportedly reached an agreement with the club over a potential transfer from Aston Villa. Negotiations are now underway to finalize the deal before the summer transfer window closes.
Digne’s journey to PSG began during the 2013 summer transfer window when he left Lille for the capital club. Over three seasons in Paris, he established himself as a key figure in the team’s defense. After departing PSG in 2016, he went on to play for FC Barcelona and Everton before settling at Aston Villa, where he currently plays under a contract set to expire on June 30, 2028.
Agreement reached for Digne’s return to Parc des Princes
The potential reunion between Digne and PSG hinges on a release clause valued at €11.7 million. According to insider reports, the player has already given his consent to rejoin the club, pending the finalization of terms with Aston Villa. A delegation from the Parisian side is actively engaged in discussions with the English club to secure the transfer before the World Cup resumes.

With the World Cup 2026 underway, Digne remains a regular starter for the French national team. His leadership qualities and deep affinity for PSG have been highlighted by club insiders, who describe him as the « perfect profile » for the team’s defensive needs. If the transfer materializes as planned, the defender will rejoin PSG immediately after the tournament, where France is set to face Spain in the semifinals.
The move would mark Digne’s return to the club where he first rose to prominence in European football, adding a touch of nostalgia to what could be a landmark transfer this summer.
