PSG complete Lucas Chevalier signing
Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of Lucas Chevalier (23). The French goalkeeper leaves his formative club, Lille OSC, signing a five-year deal with the reigning European champions. Chevalier is a long-term target for PSG. They made their move this summer amid a standoff in contract extension talks with Gianluigi Donnarumma. Despite several months of negotiations, an agreement was not found with the Italian. PSG, desperate to avoid a repeat of the Kylian Mbappé situation, made an ultimatum: extend or leave. As he did not do the former, the latter now looks inevitable, especially given Chevalier's arrival. RMC Sport understands that Luis Enrique has already communicated that the former LOSC goalkeeper will be his No.1 for the coming season. L'Équipe understands that PSG have paid a €40m fee, which could increase substantially. Including bonuses, the deal could rise to €50m. His contract with Les Parisiens runs until the summer of 2030.

AFC Bournemouth have reached an agreement with Lille OSC for Bafodé Diakité, according to a report from Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna.

Yesterday. Marc Mechenoua revealed that Bournemouth had put in a new bid. Bournemouth had been in the market for a new centre-back, particularly after finally reaching an accord with Paris Saint-Germain for the transfer of Illia Zabarnyi (22), in a deal valued to be around €63m. Diakité was a crucial player for Lille last season, appearing in all but three matches and making 48 appearances in all competitions, and helping the squad reach the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League (where they were eliminated by Borussia Dortmund in the Last 16).

Lille sign defender Romain Perraud
With the new Ligue 1 campaign just around the corner, Lille OSC have added some experience to their backline. On Friday, the club announced the signing of left-back Romain Perraud (27) from Real Betis. Perraud joins Les Dogues after just one season in Spain, signing a three-year contract with the club. His last stop in France was during the 2023-24 season when he was loaned to OGC Nice from English side Southampton, making 19 Ligue 1 appearances for Les Aiglons that season. The Toulouse-born defender made nearly 50 appearances in the Premier League with the Saints before being loaned to Nice, his original senior club, with an option to buy. Rather than sticking around though, Perraud signed for Betis in June 2024 and was a part of the team that finished as UEFA Europa Conference League runners-up last season. One of the best XI players at the Toulon Tournament in 2018, Perraud also played two seasons in the French top-flight for Stade Brestois 29. GFFN | Joel Lefevre

Lille offered Arnau Tenas for Lucas Chevalier as goalkeeper search heats up
The Lucas Chevalier (23) transfer from Lille OSC to Paris Saint-Germain has stalled, despite the capital club having already agreed personal terms for a five-year contract with the France international. The problem for PSG is that Lille have made it clear that they will not sanction a departure before signing a replacement for their goalkeeper. A situation that PSG looked to solve by offering former Spanish youth international Arnau Tenas (24), according to Foot Mercato. Tenas, the third-choice keeper at PSG, has struggled for game time since moving from Barcelona B in 2023. Last season, he made only two appearances (one in the league and one in the Coupe de France) and conceded three goals. Lille reportedly rejected the chance to sign Tenas, and are instead looking at RCD Mallorca's Dominik Greif (28) and SC Farense's Ricardo Velho (26). Greif is also a target for Olympique Lyonnais, and is thought to prefer a move to Les Gones where he would cover for the loss of Lucas Perri. GFFN | Nick Hartland
