Blocked on two files carried out in front in recent weeks – that of the Ukrainian defender of Bournemouth Illya Zabarnyi and that of the Lille porter Lucas Chevalier – the club of the capital finally made a first lock jump, by agreeing with the LOSC for the transfer of the international goalkeeper.

At 23, Mike Maignan's current lining among the Blues, trained in Lille and Pro for four years – including a loan in Valenciennes – promises to become the last number one bulwark of the Champions League. While negotiations for a possible extension have never succeeded, Gianluigi Donnarumma is more than ever on departure.

Namely an envelope higher than the floor price set by DOGUES – namely 40 million euros – excluding bonuses.

Holder for PSG vs Tottenham?

Everything promises to go fast now since PSG counts on the young native of Calais to keep his cage next Wednesday against Tottenham, in European Super Cup. Appeared to his advantage these days during the preparation of the Northerners, Lucas Chevalier is already ready, so that his medical visit will hardly be only a formality to observe before a commitment of five years in the red and blue jersey.

In addition to Gianluigi Donnarumma, the cases of Arnau Tenas – a time offered in Lille as a currency of exchange – and Matveï Safonov are not settled. On the Lille side, there is also an emergency now to recruit a final bulwark of choice. The Slovak Dominik Greif (Majorca) and the Portuguese Ricardo Velho (Farense) are followed in particular.
