Transfer news – A PSG player torn between Russia and the United States

Matvey Safonov, a 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined 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). Enough to fuel some departure rumors on this market. Russian media are mentioning on Monday that clubs from the country and the United States could welcome him.

“🤔 Spartak Moscow would be interested and the goalkeeper would be open to a return to Russia, according to Football24/ru 🇷🇺 😶‍🌫️ On the other hand, Sovsport 🇷🇺 indicates a future in MLS or a return to Russia. Zenit could financially assume such an operation. ❌ His former club FK Krasnodar does not seem like a very credible destination.”

These are rather credible claims, as Safonov could well get tired of a number 2 role at PSG, especially since the transfer of Lucas Chevalier (23 years old) reminds him that he is not seen as a successor as a starter for Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years old).

However, the Russian goalkeeper has dismissed the idea of a departure at the beginning of the transfer market by showing confidence and the will to fight for his place. Being a backup, maybe a competition, in a top European club is not uninteresting either. And PSG cannot count on just one goalkeeper.

So, there is still a lot of uncertainty; especially since there is no question of an offer, let alone an agreement.
