French international Lucas Digne, who previously donned the Paris Saint-Germain jersey between 2013 and 2016, is on the brink of making a surprising comeback to the Parc des Princes. Insiders confirm that the left-back has reached an agreement with the club, with negotiations now intensifying with Aston Villa to finalize the transfer before the summer transfer window closes.
Having spent three seasons at Paris Saint-Germain, Digne moved abroad, playing for FC Barcelona and Everton before landing at Aston Villa. At 32 years old, the experienced defender could soon complete his footballing journey by returning to the club where he first rose to prominence under Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s leadership.

The potential transfer gains momentum as Digne’s contract with Aston Villa expires on June 30, 2028. With a release clause set at €11.7 million, the club is actively exploring the best financial arrangement to secure his services. Insiders suggest that the agreement between the player and PSG is nearly finalized, pending the completion of formalities.
Could Digne’s PSG return coincide with the World Cup?
Reliable reports indicate that Digne has already given his nod to a return to Paris Saint-Germain, with talks underway between the two clubs to iron out the final details. “If everything falls into place,” the defender is expected to rejoin the French capital side shortly after the World Cup. Internally, Digne is viewed as the ideal profile—a player of “exceptional caliber,” a respected leader in the dressing room, and a lifelong admirer of the club. His consistency has also earned him a starting spot for the France national team during the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup, where Les Bleus are set to face Spain in the semifinals.
