  "account": "Lucas Digne, a France international left back, has moved from Aston Villa to Paris St-Germain in a three-year deal. The 33-year-old signed with Villa from Everton in 2022 and previously played for PSG for three years. Digne returns to the club after an eight-year absence, following PSG's activation of an £8.5m release clause in his contract. Digne expressed his honor at joining PSG again, praising the club's growth over the years. He is expected to challenge Nuno Mendes for the left-back position. Digne previously made 30 appearances for PSG in his first stint, before transferring to Barcelona in 2016. He was part of Aston Villa's Europa League-winning team last season, the club's first piece of silverware since 1996. This is the third significant departure from Villa Park this season, following Morgan Rogers' move to Chelsea and Youri Tielemans' transfer to Manchester United.",
