Paris Saint-Germain is exploring a move to re-sign Lucas Digne from Aston Villa by triggering a release clause in his contract. The 32-year-old left-back previously played for PSG from 2013 to 2016, and his performance during France's 2026 FIFA World Cup run has heightened his value. Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is facing challenges in retaining key players and managing injuries, which complicates the situation. Digne's focus remains on international duty, and no decision will be made until after France's World Cup campaign concludes.
