The first season of Lucas Chevalier clearly did not go as planned. Recruited for €50 million from LOSC, the goalkeeper was guilty of a few errors and did not necessarily fit in well with the Ile-de-France locker room… without forgetting the story of the “like” under a publication linked to the National Rally. Despite Luis Enrique’s confidence, he ended up losing his place to Matvey Safonov, who was able to respond, notably in the final phase of the Champions League.
All this, marked by the loss of his place in the France group for the World Cup. And recently, the native of Calais had decided to stay in the capital and wanted to fight for a starting place. “He told us before the World Cup that he wanted to stay. And we were very happy to hear it. We will see if this will still be the case. In a transfer window, everything is possible. Everything went against his dreams. We had to digest it, but he finished the season in a very good state of mind.”confided a club source to The Team.
Suzuki instead of Chevalier?
Last season, the former LOSC goalkeeper still played 26 matches, but none after January 23. At the same time, PSG still checked the name of Zion Suzuki (23 years old) in the event of the Frenchman’s departure. The Japanese international impressed during the World Cup and was in favor of joining the capital club, which is not exactly a good sign for Chevalier. According to our information, a new suitor has positioned itself in the case of the French goalkeeper: Juventus, looking for a new goalkeeper.
Following a turbulent end to the season and criticism of its performances, the Turin club decided to part ways with Michele Di Gregorio and wanted to offer Emiliano Martinez or Guglielmo Vicario, two complicated files to manage for Frederic Massara and the Bianconera management. The Lucas Chevalier case could therefore be a way to unblock the situation, while Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are still discussing how to unblock the Randal Kolo Muani case, which is getting bogged down.
