PSG transfer talk – Stir over Chevalier and Marin

Lucas Chevalier, the 24-year-old goalkeeper for the French national team, arrived at Paris Saint-Germain during the summer 2025 transfer window from Lille to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma. But for now, he has not managed to establish himself and has seen Matvey Safonov (27) take over the starting spot. So doubts are emerging about his future. L’Equipe takes stock this Monday, with expected movement in this position at PSG.

3 clubs interested in Chevalier.

“Chevalier is struggling with this demotion. Enough to consider leaving? The question is legitimate as several clubs have already made inquiries. Besiktas and Tottenham are closely monitoring his situation. If Argentine world champion Emiliano Martinez (33) leaves for Juventus, Aston Villa could also join the race. Internally, the line remains unchanged. Unless Chevalier clearly asks to leave and a satisfactory offer lands on the executives’ desk, PSG want to keep him. ‘It’s up to him to fight to win his place,’ they say at the club. One thing is certain: if the former Lille player were to force his exit, Paris would immediately recruit a new goalkeeper in order to maintain its philosophy — that of having two proven players capable of starting at any time.

Movement on the youth side.

At the same time, PSG are already preparing for the future. The opening of the transfer window will speed up the completion of a deal considered strategic: the signing of Alessandro Longoni (18), available on a free transfer from AC Milan. A transitional role occupied this season by Renato Marin. To take the next step, the idea now is for him to play a full season. Marin is heading toward a loan move. There are options in Ligue 1 but also abroad, notably in Spain and Portugal.”

Of course, caution is advised. That is always the case with rumors, and there is still some uncertainty here. Chevalier could leave, but maybe not. And it could be to various possible destinations that are quite different from one another. It is difficult to know what his future will look like. The most likely scenario is simply that nothing has been decided for the moment.

As for Marin, a loan move would make a lot of sense in order to get regular playing time and continue his development. Unless there is a No. 2 spot for him at PSG, which would already be a step forward. So we will wait for certainty, which has become a habit in this transfer window that has so far been very quiet on the Parisian side.
