European Champion Paris Saint-Germain has reached an agreement with Lille to sign high-rated goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, a source close to the negotiations told AFP on Friday.
The move is likely to ask questions about the future of the keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma of Italian international at PSG.
Donnarumma, who was excellent in PSG’s 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan in the Champions League final in May, is in the last year of his contract and would probably interest Premier League clubs.

Chevalier, 23, will sign a five -year contract and sign a reimbursement of around 40 million euros (USD 46.5 million).
He was nominated on Thursday for this year’s Yashin trophy for the best goalkeeper at the Ballon d’Or Gala after exceptional versions in Ligue 1 and the Champions League last season.
Lille ended in Ligue 1 last season and qualified for the Europa League.
