Ammon News - Paris St Germain have re-signed France defender Lucas Digne from Aston Villa on a deal until 2029, the Ligue 1 champions ​said on Sunday.

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed, ‌but British media reported that PSG activated an 8.5 million pounds ($11.46 million) release clause for the left-back.

Digne returns to the French capital 11 years after leaving ​PSG, having spent two seasons at the club between 2013 ​and 2015, during which he won two Ligue 1 ⁠titles, a French Cup and two League Cups.

"I am very honoured ​to be returning to Paris St Germain following the wonderful experience I ​had here more than 10 years ago," Digne said in a statement.

"I cannot wait to start this new chapter and put all my experience at the ​service of the team."

Digne began his professional career at Lille before ​joining PSG and later spending a season on loan at Roma.

Digne moved to Barcelona ‌in ⁠2016, making 46 appearances for the Spanish giants over two seasons and adding a La Liga title, two Copa del Rey trophies and a Spanish Super Cup to his list of honours.

He joined Everton ​in 2018 and ​spent four years ⁠with the Premier League club before moving to Aston Villa.

The 33-year-old spent four-and-a-half seasons at Villa Park, ​where he became a key player under manager Unai ​Emery and ⁠helped the club win the Europa League in 2026.

A France international since 2014, Digne has earned 64 caps and represented his country at ⁠two World ​Cups, most recently helping Les Bleus ​reach the semi-finals in 2026.

PSG begin their Ligue 1 campaign against Rennes on August 23.
