Barcelona start following Lille goalkeeper Chevalier – sources
Barcelona have started following Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, sources have told Diario Sport.
Chevalier is easily one of the most sought-after goalies in Europe following his strong start to the season at Lille where he has kept seven clean sheets in 19 games this term.
The 23-year-old French goalie recently opened up about the possibility of leaving Lille if a big team comes for him.
"We are in a very big nation, all the players play in very big European clubs. Lille is a very big European club, but there are steps above," Chevalier said.
"It is true that when you play in very big clubs, you make bigger shows and they look at you more, you have more demands," the goalie adds.
Barca have also been eyeing Porto's Diogo Costa but Chevalier is younger and would cost a lot less. Plus, Chevalier already kept a clean sheet as Lille beat Real Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League.
