PSG. Safonov Will Remain Number One Next Season

According to reports from Le Parisien, Matvei Safonov is expected to keep his place as PSG’s first-choice goalkeeper next season. A major development that could completely reshape the situation surrounding Lucas Chevalier.

Arriving with little media attention, Russian goalkeeper Matvei Safonov quickly made his ambitions clear: he wanted the number one spot. Initially competing with Gianluigi Donnarumma and later with Lucas Chevalier, he gradually earned the trust of Luis Enrique over the months. His recent performances, especially in the Champions League against Bayern Munich, reportedly convinced the Parisian coaching staff for good.

Luis Enrique Trusts Safonov

This decision naturally raises major questions about the future of Lucas Chevalier. Considered one of the potential future starters for the French national team, the PSG goalkeeper could see his situation become more complicated if Safonov is officially confirmed as the club’s number one for the 2026/2027 season.

Internally, Luis Enrique is said to particularly appreciate the Russian keeper’s composure, passing ability, and personality. Could that be enough to push Chevalier towards an exit? The goalkeeper situation is already shaping up to become one of the hottest topics of PSG’s summer transfer window.
