PSG transfer news: This Paris player makes a bold decision! | OneFootball

Matvey Safonov, a 26-year-old goalkeeper who arrived at Paris Saint-Germain last summer from Krasnodar with a contract until 2029 and from Russia, has been blocked in a number 2 role by Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years old) and should continue to do so with the arrival of Lucas Chevalier (23 years old). Enough to fuel some departure rumors in this transfer market. L'Equipe announces, however, this Tuesday that the Russian is holding on to his place at PSG for the time being.

We can imagine that Safonov might be tempted by a starting role in another top European club, but such a proposal would be a surprise. So, he can very well stay in Paris, where he seems to feel comfortable within the group and can participate in a very ambitious project. This with a bit of playing time, thanks to a few more rotations in addition to the Coupe de France.

And there's always the idea of competition, even if he seems to be starting from behind. PSG doesn't have to push him out if he's happy. A high-level number 2 who shows this mentality is not easy to find.
