The Story in Brief
Paris Saint-Germain have re-signed France defender Lucas Digne from Aston Villa on a contract until 2029, the Ligue 1 champions announced on Sunday. Financial details were not disclosed, but British media report that PSG activated an £8.5 million (about Rs 86 crore) release clause for the 33-year-old left-back.
Digne first played for PSG between 2013 and 2015, winning two Ligue 1 titles. He later spent time at Barcelona, Everton and Aston Villa, where he won the Europa League in 2026 under Unai Emery. A France international since 2014, Digne has 64 caps. PSG begin their league season against Rennes on August 23.
The Indian Opinion
The homecoming narrative is warm, but at 33, Digne is a short-term plug for PSG's left-back slot, not a statement signing. The £8.5 million release clause is modest for a seasoned international, yet questions linger about his pace at the top level. Watch whether he starts against Rennes, that will tell if the club sees him as a first-choice or depth piece.
