PSG See £40M-Rated Aston Villa Target as Ideal Replacement for Man Utd-Linked Star
Gianluigi Donnarumma is still under contract through 2026, but a series of high-profile errors has cast doubt on his future. While he's delivered in big moments—particularly in Champions League clashes with Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal—his overall consistency remains a concern.
Despite the ongoing uncertainty, ESPN FC reported that Donnarumma wants to remain in Paris, though Manchester United and Inter Milan are closely monitoring his situation.
Will Gianluigi Donnarumma leave PSG?According to L'Équipe, Chevalier could be an option for PSG if Donnarumma doesn't sign a new deal. PSG sporting advisor Luis Campos sees the French goalkeeper as an ideal replacement should the Italian move on.
That said, Chevalier is happy at Lille and isn't in a hurry to leave, with a contract extension also still on the table.
ESPN recently reported that Aston Villa have reached out to LOSC Lille about a potential move for Chevalier. The Frenchman is considered a possible replacement for Emiliano Martínez, who is exploring a move away from the club.
The young goalkeeper impressed last season, particularly in the Champions League, and has been with Lille since the age of 10.
Lille are said to be asking for around £40 million. PSG are also keeping an eye on Chevalier and view him as a backup option if they're unable to agree to a contract extension with Donnarumma.

Anya Taylor-Joy Models This Summer's Must-Have Accessory Trend
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. THE RUNDOWN: Take it from Alexa Chung, Kylie Jenner, and now Anya Taylor-Joy—silk scarves are the hottest accessory of the season. While many have been sporting the item as a belt, as seen on Lola Tung in New York City earlier in July, Taylor-Joy took the trend one step further, twisting and tying three different scarves three separate ways at the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix. The Furiosa actress wrapped a pleated green scarf over her head, allowing her pigtail braids to poke through. With her Dior sunglasses and a cherry-red lip, Taylor-Joy channeled the classic Old Hollywood archetype of a glamorous movie star riding in a convertible down the Italian coastline—an appropriate image for the Formula 1 race. Taylor-Joy also sported a cream lace-trimmed scarf tied around her shoulders, which perfectly complemented her tailored Cinq à Sept shorts, white tank top, and Sam Edelman Mary Janes. To cap it all off, she completed the look with a silk scarf bag by Farm Rio, officially cementing the silk scarf as an easy-yet-dynamic styling tool. The actress was in attendance alongside her husband, Malcolm McRae, who wore his usual uniform of a button-down and slacks. The two were spotted visiting the Ferrari garage and F1 paddock during the qualification session for the Grand Prix. Inside, Taylor-Joy easily popped headphones over her green scarf. She has long been a fan of the Ferrari team, attending numerous races to show her support, and always dressing for the occasion.

Spurs go all-in on De'Aaron Fox, reportedly agreeing to four-year, $229 million max extension
When the basketball gods handed San Antonio the No. 2 pick and the chance to draft highly-touted point guard Dylan Harper, there were questions in other front offices if the Spurs might play hardball in negotiations with De'Aaron Fox and not give him the max that was expected after a mid-season trade for the former All-Star. No, they paid him the max. The Spurs and Fox agreed to a four-year max contract that could be worth up to $229 million, his agent Rich Paul told ESPN's Shams Charania. (The actual total will likely be closer to $22.4 million, the $229 million figure is based on the salary cap going up 10% next year, while the NBA projects it will rise by 7%.) This is a straight four, with no options for the player or team, and kicks in for the 2026-27 season, keeping Fox under contract until the summer of 2030. The Spurs traded for Fox at the deadline in a massive three-team deal (which included Zach LaVine to the Kings) after Fox's representatives reportedly told Sacramento management he would not sign an extension with the team. Fox had previously questioned if the Kings were committed to 'competing at a high level.' San Antonio was Fox's preferred landing spot, giving him the chance to pair up with Victor Wembanyama on a team building a contender. However, Wembanyama and Fox only played five games together before the French center was out for the season due to blood clots in his shoulder. Fox averaged 19.7 points per game shooting 27.4% on 3-pointers — both numbers well below his career averages — in 17 games before ending his season in March to undergo finger surgery. San Antonio is a patient organization and coach Mitch Johnson is expected to spend this season figuring out how Fox, Harper and reigning Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle fit together — and especially how they mesh with Victor Wembanyama. The expectation around the league has been that the Spurs will eventually have to move on from at least one of their guard trio, although this Fox contract ends right when Harper's second contract would kick in, so the timing may work out. Fox, especially if his numbers dip, will be challenging to trade on this new contract. Wembanyama can sign an extension after next season, and it would kick in for the 2027-28 season. So far the trade from Sacramento to San Antonio has worked out as well as Fox wanted. Now he needs to earn that money on the court.
