Digne completes move to PSG from Aston Villa
France international Lucas Digne has completed his move from Aston Villa to European champions Paris St-Germain.
Aston Villa has seen their star left back Lucas Digne make a significant move to their rivals Paris St-Germain. The 33-year-old France international has signed a three-year contract with the European champions. Digne previously played for PSG during his early career before moving to Aston Villa in 2022. He is returning to the club after an eight-year stint in England, following PSG's activation of a £8.5m release clause in his contract.
Digne expressed his excitement about returning to Paris St-Germain, praising the club's growth over the years. The French left-back is expected to challenge first-choice Nuno Mendes for a starting position. Digne's return to PSG adds to the intensity of the competition for the left-back spot in the team. The French champions have enjoyed a successful run in recent years, winning the Champions League for the second consecutive season.
Digne previously made 30 appearances for PSG during his initial tenure before a move to Barcelona in 2016. The left-back was a key player for Aston Villa last season, contributing to the team's Europa League triumph, their first piece of silverware since 1996. Digne's departure marks the third senior exit from Villa Park this season, following the transfers of Morgan Rogers to Chelsea and Youri Tielemans to Manchester United.
