Daily Digest PSG: Chevalier and Safonov battle for No 1, transfer news | OneFootball

This Friday, December 19, the French press (on the sports side) focused on the competition at Paris Saint-Germain between Lucas Chevalier and Matvey Safonov (goalkeepers aged 24 and 26), as well as plans for the winter transfer window.

Regarding the competition, Safonov's outstanding performance in the Intercontinental Cup against Flamengo (4 penalty saves) is a great opportunity to fully revive the topic. Especially since many thought Chevalier would be the starter. However, there is no major change in management: the competition is in place and one must earn the right to play. Chevalier had the chance to show himself, without great success. The Russian seized his opportunity well. Coach Luis Enrique and his staff will continue to make their choices based on training and match performances.

As for the transfer window, the sports newspaper seemed eager to reignite reflection and excitement around PSG, but mainly offers a lot of uncertainty. PSG might be active, or not. Luis Enrique and president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi haven't said much publicly, except that they are open if there are good opportunities. There is no mention of any specific activity and nothing new in the article.

On the departures side, Lucas Beraldo (22-year-old defender) is still mentioned despite his denial, and Noham Kamara (18-year-old defender) could be loaned out. But there is nothing concrete.
