French full-back Lucas Digne is reportedly set to leave Paris Saint-Germain. According to foot01.com, he has failed to meet manager Luis Enrique's expectations following his summer arrival, with the club now targeting FC Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde as his replacement.

According to the report, Enrique is unhappy with Digne's performances and is eager to bring in Balde as early as January. The Frenchman joined from Aston Villa in the summer but has managed just 104 minutes of action since the start of the season.

Enrique has reportedly instructed PSG sporting advisor Luis Campos to pursue a deal for Balde. The left-back has featured for just 12 minutes in La Liga this season, and Barcelona are reportedly ready to part ways with their academy product for a fee of €40 million.
