Lucas Digne Agrees Terms with PSG to Reinforce Left-Back Position
France international Lucas Digne is poised to return to Paris Saint-Germain a decade after departing the reigning two-time European champions. The experienced left-back will officially finalize his move at the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup, where he is currently representing Les Bleus in North America.
The 32-year-old defender reportedly possesses a release clause of under €10 million in his Aston Villa contract, though negotiations regarding the final transfer fee structure are ongoing. Digne had recently extended his deal in Birmingham after a stellar campaign that culminated in a Europa League triumph in May.

British media have labeled the experienced Frenchman as the ideal alternative tactical option to compete with Nuno Mendes in PSG's high-pressing system. In a fascinating twist of scheduling, Digne could make his competitive debut for Luis Enrique's side against his former club, Aston Villa, in the UEFA Super Cup on August 12.
Digne's impressive club form has translated directly to the international stage, where he has cemented his status as France's first-choice left-back during the World Cup knockout rounds. He has limited rival Theo Hernandez to just 13 minutes of action and is expected to start in Tuesday's high-stakes semi-final clash against Spain.
