Three-time Ligue 1 champion Lucas Digne is on the verge of completing a surprising return to Paris Saint-Germain. The French international defender, who previously wore the PSG jersey between 2013 and 2016, has reached an understanding with the club over a potential comeback. Meanwhile, Aston Villa is actively exploring avenues to facilitate the transfer before the summer window closes.
The 32-year-old left-back began his football journey at Lille OSC before his first stint at PSG. After leaving Paris in 2016, he went on to represent FC Barcelona and Everton before landing at Aston Villa. Now, he appears poised to complete his footballing circle by returning to the Parc des Princes under Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s leadership.
French defender Lucas Digne agrees terms with PSG
With his contract at Aston Villa expiring on June 30, 2028, Lucas Digne is free to negotiate with other clubs. Reports suggest PSG is keen to bring him back, offering a release clause of €11.7 million. Insiders confirm the player has already verbally agreed to the deal, pending final administrative steps.
PSG’s summer coup: Digne’s return tied to World Cup outcome
As the France national team progresses in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, all eyes are on their squad selections. Lucas Digne, a key figure in Didier Deschamps’ side since the knockout stages, could be on the plane to Qatar. Should PSG finalize the transfer, the defender would rejoin the club immediately after the tournament. Club insiders describe him as the “ideal profile” – a high-level performer, respected leader in the dressing room, and deeply passionate about the club’s values. His return would mark a triumphant second chapter in his PSG legacy.
