Lucas Digne confirms psg return to french squad during world cup

This transfer saga has unfolded with remarkable speed. Within a mere few hours, events rapidly progressed, paving the way for Lucas Digne to rejoin Paris Saint-Germain a decade after his initial departure. The initial spark ignited earlier this week, with widespread reports quickly confirming the imminent move. The French national team’s left-back, currently under contract with Aston Villa until June 2028, even became the subject of lighthearted teasing within the squad’s changing room.

Teasing among teammates about the Parisian move

“While we can’t declare Lucas Digne’s move to PSG 100% finalized, his signing with Paris Saint-Germain is highly anticipated. He was, in fact, playfully ribbed by all his teammates, as the French national team’s changing room is increasingly resembling that of PSG. They teased him after seeing the news circulating in the press,” it was shared during a broadcast this Monday evening, ahead of the World Cup semi-final clash between the French national team and Spain.

Digne confirms a three-year agreement with Paris Saint-Germain

The defender further solidified the reports by personally confirming his agreement with PSG to his Bleus teammates. “Lucas Digne confirmed to them that he has reached a three-year contract agreement with Paris Saint-Germain. The only remaining step is to activate the clause, valued at under €10 million, once he is free after the World Cup. Digne has accepted a role as backup to Nuno Mendes for two primary reasons: he is drawn to a project that perfectly aligns with his family’s needs, offering a very Parisian family environment, as his family adores the capital. His children are even ardent supporters of Paris Saint-Germain. Everyone is delighted about his father’s impending move. He could have secured a more lucrative deal elsewhere, but he will not be unhappy here, as there is truly only one city like Paris in the world.” The outcome of this transfer operation now appears beyond doubt.
