Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly eyeing a significant reshuffle in its goalkeeping department this summer. With Lucas Chevalier having recently been demoted from the starting lineup and Matvey Safonov’s future as the primary custodian uncertain for the upcoming campaign, the club’s focus appears to be shifting.
While the club’s sporting advisor, Luis Campos, recently stated that PSG’s transfer activities have been paused for several weeks and would only resume after the final of the Champions League, this temporary halt hasn’t stopped the Parisian giants from formulating potential strategies for the market.
Mile Svilar in PSG’s sights?
Among the key positions under scrutiny is the goalkeeper spot, where Lucas Chevalier was recently relegated to the bench. Although Matvey Safonov has performed well, he has not yet received assurances about retaining his starting role. Reports indicate that PSG is actively scouting the market for a new shot-stopper, with particular attention paid to AS Roma’s Mile Svilar, who earned the distinction of being named the best goalkeeper in Serie A this season. The 26-year-old Serbian international (with 1 cap) has significantly elevated his game, with his impressive performances leading to an estimated transfer valuation of €50 million.
Is Diogo Costa also being monitored?
This substantial price tag is unlikely to decrease, especially with other European heavyweights like Chelsea, Inter, and Newcastle reportedly showing keen interest in Mile Svilar. The pursuit of such high-profile talents suggests PSG’s clear intention to challenge the existing pecking order within their goalkeeping ranks. Furthermore, recent reports from the Portuguese media have linked PSG with a potential bid for Diogo Costa, the highly-rated goalkeeper from FC Porto. All indications point towards a dynamic and eventful summer transfer window for the Paris-based club.
