- Paris Saint-Germain close in on Lille keeper Lucas Chevalier
- Donnarumma linked with Man Utd, Galatasaray, Saudi clubs
- Italian goalkeeper may stay if not convinced by other offers
Paris Saint-Germain are on the verge of signing 23-year-old Lucas Chevalier from Lille, with a verbal agreement reached as per FootMercato. However, the move has raised questions about Donnarumma’s status, as he enters the final year of his contract. Despite the saga, he has not left the club and remains committed unless an ideal offer arrives as per Fabrice Hawkins.
Hawkins says that Donnarumma’s agents are exploring his options, with interest coming from Manchester United, Manchester City, Galatasaray, and clubs in Saudi Arabia. However, the 26-year-old is still closely tied to Luis Enrique’s project and is hesitant to move without the right conditions. Internally, there’s talk of both Chevalier and Donnarumma competing for the starting role next season.
Chevalier’s arrival had been seen as the beginning of a transition between the posts at PSG. However, Luis Enrique is yet to make a final call, and Donnarumma could still feature prominently. The Italian’s stature and experience continue to make him a valuable asset if he decides to stay.
Much will depend on whether any of Donnarumma’s suitors can convince him to make the switch. Paris Saint-Germain are expected to finalise the Chevalier deal soon, at which point Luis Enrique will assess both goalkeepers during pre-season.
