Defender Lucas Digne has completed a permanent transfer from Aston Villa to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Aston Villa confirmed. Digne arrived at Villa Park in January 2022 from Everton. During his tenure, he made 182 appearances for the club, scoring four goals and providing 24 assists. He was a key member of the Aston Villa squad that secured the UEFA Europa League title last season. Digne also represented France in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the team reached the semi-finals. Aston Villa described Digne as a highly respected professional who earned the admiration of players and staff. The club stated, "A consummate professional, who was highly regarded by his fellow players and staff alike, Lucas leaves Aston Villa with the very best wishes of everyone at the football club." Digne began his career in France and previously played for Barcelona and Everton before his move to Aston Villa. The transfer comes shortly after PSG successfully defended their UEFA Champions League title, defeating Arsenal in a penalty shootout. This victory made PSG the second club, after Real Madrid, to retain the Champions League title since its rebranding in 1992.
