French international Lucas Digne is reportedly on the verge of a significant move, with strong indications he will depart Aston Villa to join Paris Saint-Germain. This highly anticipated transfer would see the left-back commit to the Parisian club until June 2029. Notably, Digne himself has already shared this exciting news with his national squad teammates while they are gathered in the United States for the World Cup.
This transfer saga has unfolded with remarkable speed. Within a mere few hours, events accelerated dramatically, paving the way for Lucas Digne to once again become a Paris Saint-Germain player, a decade after his initial departure. The initial reports surfaced earlier this week, swiftly gaining widespread confirmation across various sports outlets. The French national team’s left-back, currently under contract with Aston Villa until June 2028, has even been the subject of playful teasing within the locker room regarding his impending switch.
Teammates tease Digne over Paris Saint-Germain move
The atmosphere within the French national team’s changing room has been lively, with Digne’s teammates playfully japing him about the news. “They teased him because they had seen the reports in the press,” an insider revealed, adding that the national team’s dressing room is increasingly resembling that of PSG. This lighthearted banter occurred just ahead of the World Cup semi-final clash between the French team and Spain.
Digne confirms 3-year agreement with Paris Saint-Germain
Digne has, in fact, confirmed his agreement with PSG directly to his fellow Bleus. “Lucas Digne confirmed it to them because he has a 3-year contract agreement with Paris Saint-Germain,” a source close to the situation stated. The final step involves activating a clause valued at less than €10 million once he is officially available after the World Cup concludes. Digne’s decision to accept a role as backup to Nuno Mendes is driven by two key factors: the project perfectly aligns with his family’s desires, offering a Parisian family environment, as they adore the capital. His children are even avid supporters of Paris Saint-Germain. Everyone in his family is delighted with the move. While he could have secured a more lucrative deal elsewhere, Digne prioritizes his family’s happiness and the unique appeal of Paris. The successful completion of this operation is now beyond any doubt.
