Paris Saint-Germain’s goalkeeper situation could see significant changes this summer. Lucas Chevalier has reportedly lost his starting spot, and Matvey Safonov’s future as the first-choice keeper for the upcoming season is not yet guaranteed.
While the summer transfer window for Paris Saint-Germain is expected to be busy, sporting advisor Luis Campos recently stated that their recruitment efforts have been on hold for several weeks, a decision made with the coach and president. He indicated that no concrete moves would be initiated until after the Champions League final. Despite this temporary pause, PSG appears to be formulating some clear objectives.
Is Mile Svilar a Target for PSG?
The goalkeeper position is indeed one to watch, with Lucas Chevalier now on the bench and Matvey Safonov’s long-term status as the primary keeper still uncertain despite his good performances. We understand that Paris Saint-Germain is actively scouting the market for a new shot-stopper. Their attention has reportedly turned to 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 for his country, has significantly elevated his game, and his transfer fee is now estimated at €50 million.
Could Diogo Costa Also Be on PSG’s Radar?
Svilar’s valuation is unlikely to decrease, especially with clubs like Chelsea, Inter, and Newcastle reportedly showing interest. PSG‘s pursuit of Svilar suggests a clear intention to re-evaluate their goalkeeping hierarchy. Furthermore, recent reports from the Portuguese press indicated that PSG might also be considering a bid for FC Porto‘s goalkeeper, Diogo Costa. It appears Paris is set for a dynamic summer in the transfer market, particularly concerning their options between the posts.
