Matvey Safonov is going through a very difficult period. Remaining as the backup to Lucas Chevalier at PSG, the Russian goalkeeper is severely lacking in playing time… and it shows in the national team. His major mistake against Peru, just two days after another blunder against Nigeria, is causing serious concern in Russia.
Matvey Safonov must make a radical decision. Surprising everyone during the 2024 transfer window at PSG, the Russian has repeatedly stated that he wants to be a starter. But there has been Donnarumma, and now Chevalier. And then, the blunder with Russia. Now weakened, time is running out for the Russian, with the 2026 World Cup in sight.
The media sport.ru is even sounding the alarm: Safonov must absolutely leave PSG to regain his rhythm, otherwise he risks losing his position as number one with the Sbornaya.
Luis Enrique not seem to give him a real chance
According to them, he should have left last summer, especially since Luis Enrique does not seem willing to give him a real chance, despite the criticism aimed at Chevalier.
Even worse: in the event of an injury to the French goalkeeper, there is no guarantee that Safonov would become the starter. A clear message: if he wants to save his international career, he must move. Spanish and Portuguese clubs are reportedly already ready to welcome him.
