“To say that no club is interested would be to lie”, Lucas Chevalier, his future and a potential departure from LOSC

An important member of Bruno Genesio's squad, Lucas Chevalier will not stay at LOSC forever. He discusses his future this Sunday on the airwaves of Canal+.

Launched into his second full season, after stealing the starting place from Leonardo Jardim during the 2022-2023 financial year, Lucas Chevalier (23 years old) is reaching the levels one by one in Lille. From Ligue 2 to the Champions League, he continues to impress, to the point of having been called up for the very first time in the French team during the month of November. This growing development leaves no one indifferent, Lille supporters, observers of French Football, the Blues selection, but also and above all the biggest teams on the continent. Under contract until June 2027 with LOSC, its future will inevitably become a subject in a few weeks, months, or years.

Honestly, if I have to leave, I don't know if now is the time, but I won't leave for the sake of leaving. It will depend on the club, on the evolution of my career. It would be illogical to leave for a club where I don't play. The main thing is that I feel good and that the club develops, that we make our way to the Champions League. Obviously, these are discussions that will happen later. For the moment, I am focused on my mission. What happens will happen. There is no emergency »he confides.

At the time, a few years earlier, it was Eden Hazard who was on this same grill and answered this simple question: what about Paris Saint-Germain? Lucas Chevalier does not forbid himself anything, does not veto himself: “Honestly, I don’t have a… If one day I have to leave, it is the project, in France or abroad, that will convince me. Bigger than Lille, in France, there aren't manythat's for sure »he simply says, to conclude, on the set of Canal Football Clubflagship show of Canal+.
