PSG sign Lucas Digne from Aston Villa

Paris Saint-Germain has completed the signing of France leftback Lucas Digne from Aston Villa, triggering a release clause reported to be around 8.5 million pounds. The 33-year-old defender has agreed to a three-year contract with the Ligue 1 and European champions, returning to the Parc des Princes more than a decade after his first spell at the club.

Digne, who grew up in the Paris region, first played for PSG between 2013 and 2015, winning two Ligue 1 titles, a French Cup, and two League Cups. He departed for Barcelona in 2016 and later spent four seasons in the Premier League with Everton before joining Aston Villa in January 2022. At Villa Park, he became a key player under manager Unai Emery, making 182 appearances and helping the club win the Europa League in May 2026, their first major trophy since 1996.

"I am very honoured to be returning to Paris Saint-Germain following the wonderful experience I had here more than ten years ago," Digne said in a statement on the club's website. "I am particularly impressed by how the club has developed over the years. I cannot wait to start this new chapter and put all my experience at the service of the team."
