Juventus is reportedly exploring a move for Lucas Chevalier, just 12 months after the goalkeeper joined Paris Saint-Germain. The Italian giants continue their search for a long-term solution between the sticks, amidst Michele Di Gregorio's inconsistent performances. According to "Foot Mercato," Chevalier is the latest name to emerge on their radar.
This interest runs parallel to ongoing efforts to sign Emiliano Martínez and Guglielmo Vicario – two targets that sporting director Frederic Massara has found challenging to secure thus far.
The 24-year-old Chevalier still has four years remaining on his current contract with PSG. This suggests Juventus may need to table a significant offer if they decide to make a formal bid.
The pursuit of Chevalier is further complicated by the fact that both Juventus and PSG are monitoring Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. The Japanese international has impressed with his performances in Serie A, potentially setting up a transfer market clash between the two European powerhouses. This shared interest could create a domino effect: if PSG successfully signs Suzuki, it might pave the way for Chevalier's move to Turin.
Chevalier's potential departure comes just a year after his high-profile €40 million transfer to PSG from Lille. Ultimately, his inaugural campaign in the French capital proved quite contentious. The young goalkeeper arrived with the tag of a future number one but gradually lost his starting spot to Russian international Matvey Safonov.
Chevalier's situation was further exacerbated by an injury sustained shortly before the World Cup, which sidelined him for several weeks and ultimately prevented his participation in the tournament.
