This summer, Paris Saint-Germain could initiate a significant overhaul of its goalkeeping department. The situation is pressing, as Lucas Chevalier has reportedly lost his starting position, and Matvey Safonov has not yet received assurances about retaining his spot for the upcoming season.
While the PSG transfer window is expected to be dynamic, it won’t commence immediately. Luis Campos recently confirmed, “Regarding our transfer market, a decision we made with our coach and president, our market has been completely halted for several weeks.” He indicated that no concrete moves would be made until after the Champions League final, which is just a week away. Nevertheless, this pause hasn’t stopped PSG from formulating potential targets and strategies.
Mile Svilar emerges as a PSG target?
Particular attention will be paid to the goalkeeper position. Lucas Chevalier has been benched, and while Matvey Safonov has delivered strong performances, his long-term role remains unconfirmed. Reports indicate that PSG scouts are actively searching the market for a new shot-stopper, with a keen eye on AS Roma’s Mile Svilar. The Serbian international, aged 26, was recently recognized as the best goalkeeper in Serie A this season, marking a significant step in his career. His transfer value is currently estimated at €50M.
Is Diogo Costa also being monitored?
The high valuation of Mile Svilar is unlikely to decrease, especially with prominent clubs like Chelsea, Inter, and Newcastle reportedly showing interest. PSG‘s pursuit of Svilar underscores their intention to once again challenge the existing hierarchy within their goal. Moreover, recent information from Portugal suggested that PSG might also be preparing an offer for Diogo Costa, the talented goalkeeper from FC Porto. All signs point to a busy summer of changes in Paris.
