According to sources, Paris Saint-Germain has signed Lille goalkeeper Lucas Cevalier with a transfer fee of 40 million euros plus a floating clause of up to 15 million euros, with a five-year contract.
Official confirmation will be announced in the next few hours. 23-year-old Chevalier has completed a medical examination in Paris and will become the new goal of the team. This means that the Italian goal of Guidonnarumma, which made history in Paris last season, will leave this summer. Sources said Paris is unwilling to retain the Italian goalkeepers, and the new season's roster will be equipped with two top goalkeepers.
sources added that Chelsea, Manchester United and Inter Milan have contacted Donaruma's agent Enzo Raiola and are expected to make an offer. Donnarumma, 26, originally wanted to renew his contract. He has only one year left in his current contract, but the two sides have never reached an agreement. The team's maximum salary player with a monthly salary of 850,000 euros (about 212,500 euros per week) requested a salary increase and refused to accept the low base salary + high individual/team performance bonus salary structure implemented by sports director Louis Campos in the past two years.
Last season, Donnarumma made many outstanding achievements in Paris' first Champions League victory, and had a divine victory against key battles such as Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal. But coach Enrique prefers goalkeepers with excellent ball-taking ability and skilled feet, which is exactly what Chevalier has to do.
