Paris Saint-Germain does not want to relive the Kylian Mbappé trauma. While the negotiations for the extension of Gianluigi Donnarumma, whose contract expires in a year, are at a standstill, the Parisian management is active behind the scenes to prepare the succession. The risk of seeing the best goalkeeper in the world going free is too big to be ignored. Luis Campos therefore has a specific plan in mind, a priority target to keep Parisian goals if the Italian came to pack. And this plan leads straight to another big talent in the French championship.
Knight, Campos protégé ready to replace Donnarumma
This man is Lucas Chevalier. According to information from The teamthe LOSC goalkeeper is the absolute priority of Luis Campos to take over. The Parisian sports advisor, who had offered the young goalkeeper his first professional contract in Lille, has never hidden his admiration for his profile. Faced with the blocking in the Donnarumma file, the clan of which refuses the new salary grid of the club, the knight track has passed from the status of option to that of real plan A.
The goalkeeper of the DOGUES is therefore in a luxury waiting room. He observes, he listens. Each day that goes without agreement between Paris and Donnarumma brings it closer to the capital a little more. For PSG, the equation is simple: if the Italian does not sign quickly, it will be put on the market this summer to avoid a free departure in 2026. And the money collected would be immediately reinvested on the porter of the French team.
Knight, priority in case of failure Donnarumma
A risk to take?
This is the whole dilemma for knight. Going for PSG is the assurance of changing dimension, to rub shoulders with the maximum pressure, the one he described himself by saying: “If I miss the same intervention in Lille as Donnarumma in Paris, it has a little more impact for him”. But it is also a risk, less than a year from the World Cup, where he hopes to keep his number 2 place among the Blues.
For the moment, Knight does not make waves. He works, while waiting for a sign of Paris. If PSG manifests with a substantial offer, it is hard to imagine the LOSC retain its player, especially after the investments already made. The situation is complex, a domino game where each piece depends on the other. One thing is certain: the Donnarumma soap opera will be followed with very special attention in the North. The future of the goalkeeper of the French team depends on it.
