Rewarded for his very good performances with LOSC, Lucas Chevalier was called up to the French team in recent hours for the first time. Several European clubs including FC Barcelona are ready to take out the checkbook in the coming months.
One of the biggest talents in French football is undeniably Lucas Chevalier. The 23-year-old goalkeeper, LOSC goalkeeper, has been one of the last most reliable defenses in Ligue 1 since the start of last season. The player trained in the North was loaned to Valenciennes in 2021/2022 before taking over number 1 place in Lille. Rewarded for his regular performances, Chevalier, who was decisive against Real Madrid and Juventus in the Champions League in recent weeks among others, will discover the French team during the month of November. His change of status logically attracted the sirens of the biggest European clubs. FC Barcelona is ready to take action in the coming months to attract him into their nets and secure a starter in the cages in the long term, announces local media Sport.
Barça ready to pay €25M to buy Chevalier
The Blaugrana, leaders of Liga, saw Marc-André Ter Stegen seriously injured, and the Catalan management wishes to start looking for a long-term option with a younger goalkeeper, because Inaki Pena does not have the level sufficient to establish himself sustainably in the Barça cages, while Szczesny signed for a few months when he left in addition to his retirement. Diogo Costa and Marcin Bulka are also names that could interest Barcelona. Under contract until 2027 with LOSC, Lucas Chevalier was present at a press conference in Clairefontaine in recent hours and does not refrain from aiming higher: “I play for LOSC. All players play for a major European club. Lille is a big European club but there are steps above. The No. 1 spot depends on a very big club. You have to have this lucidity,” he said. Valued at 25 million euros, the player will be in high demand this summer and he will have to make a strong decision in the months to come.
