Eden Hazard, retired from football since October 2023, recently revealed a missed opportunity to join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) after leaving Chelsea. During an appearance in the show “Zack en rout libre”, the former player of Lille OSC, Chelsea and Real Madrid said that the PSG had tried to recruit him for several years. Despite an affection for the Parisian club and regular contact with Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Hazard preferred to engage with Real Madrid, not wishing to return to Ligue 1 and avoid scoring goals against his former club, Lille. This statement highlights an important personal decision in the career of the Belgian striker.

At the same time, Paris Saint-Germain is about to welcome Lucas Chevalier, the young French goaltender of the LOSC. The transfer from Chevalier to PSG is now finalized, as reported by Team and RMC Sport. The 23-year-old guard passed his medical examination and signed a five-year contract, until June 2030, with the club of the capital. This acquisition represents a major investment for the PSG, estimated at 55 million euros, including bonuses.

The joint formalization of the two clubs is expected soon to seal Lucas Chevalier’s arrival at the PSG. This signature considerably strengthens the defensive sector of the Paris club and reflects its ambition to stay at the top of European football. The arrival of Chevalier is part of a policy of renewal of the Paris workforce, aimed at combining youth and talent to build the future of the club.
