This summer, Paris Saint-Germain is preparing for a significant shake-up within its goalkeeping ranks. The current situation sees Lucas Chevalier having lost his starting position, while Matvey Safonov has yet to receive assurances regarding his role for the upcoming season.
The summer transfer window for Paris Saint-Germain is expected to be bustling, though activity will not commence immediately. Luis Campos recently confirmed, « For us, concerning the transfer market, and this is a decision we made with our coach and the president, our transfer window has been completely paused for several weeks ». He assured that no concrete moves would be made before the Champions League final, now just a week away. Nevertheless, this pause does not prevent PSG from formulating their initial strategies and targets.
Is Mile Svilar a target for Paris Saint-Germain?
Attention is notably turning to the goalkeeper position, where Lucas Chevalier has been relegated to the bench. While Matvey Safonov has performed admirably, his long-term starting role remains uncertain. Paris Saint-Germain is actively scouting the market for a new shot-stopper, with a keen eye on AS Roma’s Mile Svilar, who was recently named the best goalkeeper in Serie A this season. The 26-year-old Serbian international, with one senior cap, has significantly elevated his game, leading to an estimated transfer value of €50M.
Diogo Costa also under consideration?
This valuation is unlikely to decrease, especially with prominent clubs like Chelsea, Inter, and Newcastle reportedly showing interest. The pursuit of Mile Svilar underscores Paris Saint-Germain’s intent to once again redefine its goalkeeping hierarchy. Furthermore, recent reports from the Portuguese press indicated that Paris Saint-Germain might also be preparing an offer for Diogo Costa, the talented goalkeeper from FC Porto. All signs point to a dynamic and eventful summer in Paris regarding the club’s netminders.
