Transfer news – Safonov, a surprising choice for PSG? | OneFootball

Matvey Safonov, a 26-year-old Russian goalkeeper who joined Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2024 from Krasnodar with a contract until 2029, has been stuck in a number 2 role behind Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years old), and then Lucas Chevalier (23 years old). This has fueled some departure rumors during this transfer window. PSG Inside Actus reports today that the Russian would be replaced if he leaves.

It's a bit of a surprise, as one might expect that Renato Marin (19 years old), who was recruited this summer, would get his chance if Safonov were to leave his position. Otherwise, his signing is somewhat difficult to understand since a number 3 role could also be filled by a young Parisian player.

We remain cautious, as nothing is certain yet. Safonov hasn't even left, and no departure rumors have been confirmed. There is still some uncertainty, so let's wait for confirmation.
