Fabrizio Romano, the widely respected Italian transfer journalist, has given his stamp of approval to the deal, confirming a “here we go” moment for Digne’s move to PSG. He notes that there is a verbal agreement in place between the France international and the Parisians, with no negotiations required with Aston Villa because PSG will pay Digne’s release clause, which Romano estimates to be under €10 million. Digne has accepted the role of backup to Mendes, a decision that is unlikely to limit his opportunities to impact matches, given head coach Luis Enrique’s approach to rotating his squad for league fixtures.
Beyond his on-field utility as an experienced backup, Digne’s leadership and his established influence within the national team setup are considered significant assets for PSG’s locker room dynamic. His presence is expected to help anchor the squad as they navigate a busy season.
PSG’s transfer activity this summer has been steady but measured, with the club gradually ramping up their plans. There remains substantial work to be done to finalize the squad, including attracting several peripheral players from around Europe and possibly unveiling a major signing later in the window, with Yan Diomande being one of the names floated as a potential addition.
The early chatter about Digne’s situation intensified when it became clear that his release clause was attainable and that he was open to returning to Paris in a backup role to Mendes. Meanwhile, Ibrahim Mbaye continues to attract interest from multiple Premier League clubs, and PSG could be compelled to consider a sale if the winger pushes for a move.
