Hopes were high when Lucas Chevalier signed for Paris Saint-Germain last summer. Strongly desired by Luis Enrique, the French goalkeeper then arrived from Lille to take the place of Gianluigi Donnarumma who was pushed out. But Lucas Chevalier’s performances were not at the expected level and Matvey Safonov finally passed him in front. For some, the former LOSC player should not play again this season.
On the set of the L’Équipe channel, Ambre Godillon estimated this Wednesday that there was practically no chance of seeing Lucas Chevalier during a PSG match between now and next June.
“It’s not an open secret. I think that the situation of Lucas Chevalier and the hierarchy (are settled). The only time when there was this possibility of playing time, within the framework of PSG, when there was a number one, it was the Coupe de France. »
And since the capital club was knocked out of the competition by Paris FC in the round of 16 last January (0-1), the opportunity to rotate the goalkeepers has vanished, according to the observer. “Paris Saint-Germain no longer plays the oldest competition. From that moment on, there are four league matches remaining and this is the last four of the Champions League, so there will never be another shooting window for Lucas Chevalier. For me it’s obvious. »
Lucas Chevalier, see you this summer
The former PSG collaborator also spoke of the desire of Luis Enrique and his staff to give ever more confidence to Matvey Safonov for this end of the season. “They want Safonov to have the wind at their back. » Lucas Chevalier was not started on Wednesday evening for the match won against Nantes (3-0, 26th day of Ligue 1), penultimate in the standings.
Further confirmation of the serious downgrading of Lucas Chevalier. We now have to wait for the end of the season and the start of the summer transfer window to see what the international tricolor and PSG will take as a joint decision for the rest of their history.
