Juventus have identified Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier as a potential target as the Serie A club continues its summer recruitment drive for a new shot-stopper. The 24-year-old France international, who previously played for Lille, has emerged on the radar of the Italian side following a string of unsuccessful approaches for other high-profile goalkeepers.
The Bianconeri have already seen attempts to sign Alisson Becker, Emiliano Martinez and Guglielmo Vicario fall through this window. With those moves failing to materialise, Juventus have earmarked Chevalier as their latest target, though any approach would mark their fourth attempt to secure a goalkeeper this summer.
Chevalier’s PSG predicament
Since the end of January, the young stopper has not made a single appearance for the Ligue 1 side, raising significant questions about his standing in the squad. The prolonged lack of playing time suggests Chevalier has fallen down the pecking order at the French champions, even as he remains on the books of the club.
However, any potential negotiation may face an immediate obstacle. Chevalier has stated his desire to remain in the French capital and fight for his place at PSG. This stance complicates Juventus’ pursuit, as the goalkeeper appears unwilling to push for an exit despite spending months on the sidelines.
Next steps
Juventus remain active in the market as they seek to resolve their goalkeeping situation before the transfer window closes. Securing Chevalier’s services would require convincing both PSG to sanction a departure and the player to abandon his Paris project.
Whether the Turin side can strike a deal with the Ligue 1 champions or if they will be forced to explore alternative targets once again remains uncertain as the summer progresses.
