A short season and then it’s gone? This is what could happen to Lucas Chevalier in the coming weeks… Currently injured, the French international goalkeeper (1 selection) is definitely going through a chaotic period since his arrival at Paris Saint-Germain. Recruited from Lille for a check for 55 million euros, the 24-year-old player has never convinced in the City of Lights. First propelled to the rank of number 1 after the departure of Gianluigi Donnarumma to Manchester City, the native of Calais – guilty of more than questionable performances – finally lost his place. A downgrade then benefiting Matvey Safonov.
Now relegated to the substitutes’ bench, the one who is still not guaranteed to play in the next World Cup with the France team logically finds himself in danger. Last night, during the 33rd day of Ligue 1 against Brest, it was Renato Marin – the usual number 3 in the position – who took advantage of the misfortunes of his teammates and the turnover made by Luis Enrique to shine. A question then arises: for how long will Lucas Chevalier accept this situation?
A departure made this summer?
According to the latest revelations from The Teamnot for long… Indeed, this Monday morning, in an article devoted to the very good performance performed by Renato Marin, the French daily affirms that if Luis Enrique does not reshuffle the cards during the off-season, a departure of the Parisian number 30 would clearly not be excluded. It now remains to be seen in what form and what price Parisian leaders could ask for. The Team adds, as such, the possibility of seeing PSG accept a loan.
If nothing has yet been decided, Lucas Chevalier – author of 26 matches in all competitions since his arrival – sees the noose tightening in any case. Recently questioned about the situation of his protégé, Luis Enrique was clear. Football is incredible. You criticized Chevalier all the time during the first part of the season, I defended him. Now the question is when he will play. This is high-level football. And it could well be that the former Lille player will quickly move towards new horizons…
