French left-back Lucas Digne has been seen wearing a Real Madrid shirt shortly after completing his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain. The image of the former Barcelona defender wearing the shirt of his former team's main rival caused a major reaction across social media platforms.
The photo shows Digne wearing the iconic Real Madrid jersey from the 2013-14 season. That shirt holds special symbolism for the club because Real Madrid won La Decima, their tenth Champions League title, while wearing it.
Reactions on X flooded in after the photograph was published. One user commented that even Paris Saint-Germain supporters know the shirt is pure aura. Another person stated they saw no issue and suggested Digne simply realized Real Madrid is the biggest club. A third user wrote that Barcelona is merely a stepping stone for many players and that Real Madrid is the final goal.
Paris Saint-Germain Transfer Details
Digne joined Paris Saint-Germain following the World Cup after the French club executed his buyout clause with Aston Villa for an amount close to 10 million euros. The defender signed a contract with Paris Saint-Germain through June 2029.
Digne became the first signing made by manager Luis Enrique for the current season. This move marks his second spell with Paris Saint-Germain, where he previously played for two seasons between 2013 and 2015. During that first period in Paris, he won two league titles, one cup, two league cups, and three supercups.
Reunion With Manager Luis Enrique
Following his first period in Paris, Digne spent the 2015-16 season on loan at Roma. Barcelona then signed the defender from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2016 for 16.5 million euros, placing him under manager Luis Enrique during the first of his two years in Spain.
During his time at Barcelona, Digne played a rotation role as backup to Jordi Alba, making 25 appearances and scoring one goal in the Copa del Rey. Nine years later, Luis Enrique reunites with Digne at Paris Saint-Germain, where the defender will hold the same rotational role he had during their time together at Barcelona.
