Lucas Digne (French pronunciation: [lykɑ diɲ]; born 20 July 1993) is a French professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Spanish club FC Barcelona and the France national team.
On 27 July 2010, Digne signed his first professional contract agreeing to a three-year deal with Lille until June 2013, though it was later extended to 2016 in January 2012. Ahead of the 2011–12 season, Digne was promoted to the senior team permanently and assigned the number 3 shirt. He made his professional debut on 26 October 2011 in a 6–1 victory over Sedan in the Coupe de la Ligue.
On 17 July 2013, Digne signed a five-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain, on a fee believed to be around €15 million.
On 26 August 2015, Italian Serie A club AS Roma announced that they had signed Digne from PSG on a season-long loan deal for €2.5 million, with the option to make the move permanent at the end of the 2015–16 season. Digne made his Roma debut on 30 August 2015, playing the entire match in a 2–1 victory against Juventus FC at the Stadio Olimpico.
On 13 July 2016, Digne joined Spanish La Liga side FC Barcelona on a five-year deal. The fee was €16.5 million (£13.8 million), with the possibility to increase to €20.5 million (£17.1 million), according to individual and team results. On 14 August 2016, Digne made his first appearance for Barcelona in a 0–2 victory against Sevilla FC in the 2016 Supercopa de España first leg.
