Lucas Digne’s Paris saint-germain return: France teammates in on the secret

The **PSG** summer **mercato** is expected to gain significant momentum once the **2026 World Cup** concludes. However, an initial, somewhat unexpected, transfer has already been secured by the capital club: **Lucas Digne**, the 32-year-old left-back for the **France national team**, is set to rejoin the Parc des Princes a decade after his initial departure. The PSG management has reportedly decided to activate his release clause from **Aston Villa**, valued at approximately 10M€, to bring **Digne** back as a crucial backup for **Nuno Mendes**.

“Lucas Digne confirmed it because he has an agreement”

Insights into the **Lucas Digne** transfer dossier, unfolding amid the **World Cup**, reveal intriguing details. While it cannot be declared 100% complete, Digne’s move to Paris Saint-Germain is imminent. He has reportedly been subjected to playful teasing from his teammates, as the France national team dressing room is increasingly resembling that of PSG. His colleagues playfully ribbed him after seeing the news in the press, and Digne subsequently confirmed his agreement for a three-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain. All that remains is for the club to activate his clause, reportedly under 10M€, once he is available after the World Cup.

“Everyone is happy”

Digne’s decision to accept the role of **Nuno Mendes’s** understudy stems from two primary factors: he has embraced a project that perfectly aligns with his family’s desires, envisioning a very Parisian family environment. His family, particularly his children, are ardent fans of Paris Saint-Germain. Thus, everyone is delighted that ‘dad’ is signing with the club. While he might have secured a more lucrative deal elsewhere, Digne will find contentment in Paris, a city he deeply cherishes, reinforcing his decision to confide in his **France national team** teammates about his **PSG** transfer this summer.
