With Matveï Safonov and Lucas Chevalier, why are PSG moving for another goalkeeper? | OneFootball

Despite Lucas Chevalier and Matveï Safonov wanting to stay at PSG, the club is close to signing Parma’s Zion Suzuki. According to L'Équipe, the 23-year-old Japanese goalkeeper is viewed primarily as an investment for the future.

Every summer seems to bring churn in Paris. Stability in goal remains elusive despite two European titles in as many seasons.

Gianluigi Donnarumma started in 2024-2025 when Paris secured their first star. Lucas Chevalier, 24, then took over after a turbulent saga.

Six months later the Frenchman lost his place to Matveï Safonov, 27. The Russian arrived in summer 2024 to compete with Donnarumma.

Suzuki’s potential arrival fits a longer-term plan. A loan is under consideration, which could see him leave immediately after signing.
