Lucas Digne is a target for PSG this summer, with the France international seen as a leader and a value option due to his release clause.

PSG maintain a strong squad and do not plan to make significant changes this summer. However, the club still intends to make minor adjustments, specifically aiming to increase depth at the full-back position. The Birmingham Mail reports today that Aston Villa’s versatile defender Lucas Digne is currently on the Parisians’ radar.

PSG aim for experienced backup

While the potential transfer is somewhat unexpected, the move remains logical. Digne holds a release clause in his current contract, though the exact figure remains undisclosed. Aston Villa signed the defender for £25 million in 2022.

Digne previously spent three years at PSG between 2013 and 2016. The club envisions him serving as more than just a backup for Nuno Mendes; they view him as a valuable presence in the dressing room. His influence within the France squad at the World Cup this summer is reportedly a primary driver behind PSG’s interest.

Any potential negotiations must wait until the conclusion of the World Cup, as Digne remains focused on his campaign with Les Bleus.
