PSG transfer news – Chevalier's decision confirmed

Lucas Chevalier, the 24-year-old France national team goalkeeper, 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. PSG Inside Actus confirmed this Saturday that the goalkeeper has chosen to stay.

“The player’s intention is clear: to fight to win his place”

After several days of doubt, reflection and checks, Lucas Chevalier has finally made his decision: he wants to stay at Paris Saint-Germain. The player’s intention is clear: to fight to earn his place as the starting goalkeeper and convince the Parisian staff that he can establish himself over the long term. Of course, in a transfer window, anything can change. If a club were to make an exceptional offer, both for PSG and for the player, the situation could be reassessed. He recently turned down Rennes’ offer.

As always when faced with a rumor, we remain somewhat cautious. There is nothing concrete, so the situation can still change. The transfer window is known for springing surprises. However, this choice by Chevalier has already been mentioned, notably by Canal+, and it is not far-fetched. A player may well want to fight for his place, especially at the European champions.

Let us not forget that his possible departure was only a rather thin rumor. That does not mean it could not eventually happen, but another season at PSG, trying to express himself better thanks to being more settled, makes sense. From the club’s point of view as well, having invested heavily (40 million euros).
