Not a lot of many people probably thought of one day Kevin Trapp in Ligue 1, especially in a Parisian club. However, and as announced in recent days, the German goalkeeper, now 35 years old, has just signed a three -year contract in favor of Paris FC, promoted in the elite this season. “”The 35 -year -old German international joined until 2028. Trained at FC Kaiserslautern and passed through Eintracht Frankfurt, he totaled more than 287 professional matches. He joined the goalkeeper group alongside Obed Nkambadio and Rémy Riou. Paris FC is proud to welcome Kévin and welcome him to the club. Willkommen Kevin!»»
7 years after his last match in France, and 6 years after his final departure from PSG (Trapp had been initially loaned to Eintracht Frankfurt before committing definitively), the international with 9 selections will regain the hexagonal jousts. Meanwhile, he has become a safer goalkeeper and even won the Europa League in 2022 with the Eagles. Its errors in the PSG cage are distant. His experience and experience should serve him in this new adventure where media pressure will still be present.
Not sure to be a holder
His return is seen as an attraction. His past at PSG obviously plays, just like his CV, but also his new team, bought by the Arnault family (the family holding company Agache Sports has become a owner at 52 %), replaced by the expertise and reason of Red Bull (11 % of the shares). The PFC puts big means during this transfer window and is almost € 40 million in expenses. Only PSG, OM and Strasbourg made stronger this summer. This means that the capital's club is not promoted like the others.
He also spent 1 M € to bring in Trapp and offered him the same salary as in Germany, 3.5 M € per year, not to mention the premiums. The goalkeeper wanted to return to Paris, he who would have been offered a model position in the luxury brand Louis Vuitton, owned by the Arnault family, where his partner is already working, the model Izabel Goulart. On the sporting level, he is not assured of a holder's place, however, since he will be in competition with Obed Nkambadio, promising but also a tender goalkeeper of the French Hopes team.
