Lucas Chevalier’s first season at PSG is one to forget. Recruited for €50 million from LOSC, the goalkeeper failed. Guilty of a few errors, not necessarily well integrated into the locker room, without forgetting the story of the “like” under a publication linked to the National Rally, the former Lille player missed his entry. Despite Luis Enrique’s confidence, he ended up losing his place to Matvey Safonov, who was able to respond, especially in the big matches.
For Chevalier, the blow was hard. Called up by Didier Deschamps since November 2024, and even started for the first time in Azerbaijan in the fall, the man who was in the process of becoming number 2 behind Mike Maignan has completely lost his place in the France group for the World Cup. He still played 26 matches last season but none after January 23. It’s difficult to envisage a new season for him as a replacement, even though he has courtiers at his disposal.
The Italian press once again brings up the Zion Suzuki case
However, it is taking shape. The native of Calais has decided to stay in the capital and 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. He went through a difficult period, he had to digest, but he finished the season in a very good state of mind.», confided a few days ago a source from the club to The Team.
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. This lead is confirmed today in La Gazzetta dello Sportwhich is not really a good sign for Chevalier. The Parma goalkeeper would still cost between €30 and €35 million, but he would be very sensitive to the interest of the European champion. Juventus is also in the running, as are the English Aston Villa and Leeds.
