PSG made a strong choice this summer. Club decision-makers in the capital have decided to part ways with one of the great architects of the Champions League coronation, in the person of Gianluigi Donnarumma, who left for Manchester City. To replace the Italian goalkeeper, the European champions have chosen to rely on Lucas Chevalier.
As one might expect, the former Lille player is experiencing a delicate adaptation. Author of several errors since the start of the season, notably against OM and recently against Strasbourg, Chevalier is not spared from criticism. And things might not get better for him in the months to come…
Indeed, the residents of the Parc des Princes could lose Matvey Safonov this winter. Frustrated by his situation, the Russian international opened the door to a departure. And after
Sports 24three clubs would like to offer his services in the form of a loan: Valencia, Sporting and Braga.
A real competitor to Chevalier approaching?
“ In the event of Safonov's departure, PSG does not intend to make Marin (the Italian goalkeeper recruited this summer, editor's note) its number 2 », advances the PSG Inside Actu account on X., and adds: “ The club is exploring other avenues to compete with Chevalier or to be the second goalkeeper. A touch from Portugal, whose name has not filtered, would be studied for this winter transfer window. »
It remains to be seen whether this goalkeeper playing in Portugal would be recruited to be number 2 or really compete with Lucas Chevalier. If it is the goalkeeper of FC Porto and the Seleçao, Diogo Costa, this could restore the number 1 status of the French goalkeeper.
