This summer, Paris Saint-Germain could initiate significant changes within their goalkeeping department. Lucas Chevalier has seen his starting position diminish, while Matvey Safonov has yet to secure his place for the upcoming season.
The summer transfer window for PSG is anticipated to be dynamic, though it won’t commence immediately. Luis Campos recently affirmed, “For us regarding transfers, and this is a decision we made with our coach and the president, our transfer activity has been completely paused for several weeks.” He indicated that no concrete moves would be made before the upcoming Champions League final. Nevertheless, this pause hasn’t stopped PSG from formulating potential plans.
Mile Svilar on PSG’s radar?
Particular attention is being paid to the goalkeeper position, where Lucas Chevalier has been relegated to the bench. Although Matvey Safonov has performed well, he lacks a definitive guarantee for retaining his role. Information suggests that PSG is exploring the market for a new shot-stopper, with particular interest in AS Roma’s Mile Svilar, who was named the best goalkeeper in Serie A this season. The 26-year-old Serbian international, with one cap, has significantly elevated his game this season, leading to a reported transfer valuation of €50M.
Is Diogo Costa also being monitored?
This valuation is unlikely to decrease, especially with interest from clubs like Chelsea, Inter, and Newcastle. The pursuit of Mile Svilar underscores PSG’s intention to once again challenge the existing goalkeeping hierarchy. Furthermore, Portuguese media previously reported PSG’s potential offer for Diogo Costa, the talented goalkeeper from FC Porto. It appears significant activity is on the horizon for Paris this summer.
