PSG have made official the signing of Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, a day after the 23-year-old penned a five-year contract with the French capital club.
Chevalier passed his medical and signed the deal on Friday, August 9, making him the third most expensive goalkeeper of all time.
According to Le Parisien, the reigning European champions paid €40 million to snatch the goalkeeper from Lille. That amount could reach €55 million if bonuses are included.
That also makes the Calais native the most expensive French goalkeeper in history.
It is unclear if he will take the role of number one goalkeeper from Italy international, Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is yet to renew his contract with PSG.
Donnarumma is under the radar of top Premier League sides, including Manchester United and Manchester City.
With a fee of €55 million, Lucas Chevalier is now the third most expensive transfer for a goalkeeper, behind Kepa Arrizabalaga’s €80 million move from Athletic Bilbao to Chelsea in 2018 and Alisson Becker’s €72 million deal from Roma to Liverpool also in 2018.
