Recent reports from French outlet Media Foot indicate that LOSC Lille is interested in bringing Aston Villa player Lucas Digne back to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy this summer. Digne began his professional career with Lille before moving to Paris Saint-Germain in 2013.

A return to his former club seems more likely as the season progresses. Digne remains an important part of the Aston Villa team under Unai Emery, but the opportunity for a nostalgic return could influence his choice.
The French international has a contract with Villa Park until 2028, having signed the extension last August to support the club’s financial stability. He is an essential leader in the team and performs reliably on the field.
This means Aston Villa might hesitate before considering any sale. Currently, the club is in an excellent position in the Premier League, sitting in third place with 50 points after 26 matches as of February 19, 2026. Any interested club would need to make a substantial offer to convince Villa to part with such a valuable player this summer.
