Ligue 1 Champions Target Villa Defender to Support Nuno Mendes
Paris Saint-Germain are actively working to secure their former defender Lucas Digne from Aston Villa during the current transfer window. The 32-year-old left-back spent three seasons in the French capital between 2013 and 2016 and is now highly keen on making a dramatic return to his home country.
According to reports from the Daily Mail and journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the experienced international has already agreed personal terms with the Ligue 1 champions. The deal is highly feasible for PSG due to a remarkably modest 12 million euro release clause embedded in his current contract with the Premier League side.

The French defender has cemented his role as Didier Deschamps' primary left-back option while on international duty. Aston Villa are already preparing for his departure by targeting AC Milan's Pervis Estupinan, anticipating that Digne will finalize his transfer to Paris immediately following his ongoing tournament commitments.
Digne's arrival at the Parc des Princes is strategically designed to provide elite cover and competition for first-choice left-back Nuno Mendes. However, his return will likely further limit the tactical setup and playing minutes of Lucas Hernandez, who has struggled for regular game time in the squad.
