Lucas Chevalier, the 24-year-old French goalkeeper, joined Paris Saint-Germain from Lille during the 2025 summer transfer window to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma. However, he has failed to establish himself so far and has seen Matvey Safonov (27) take over the starting role. Consequently, questions have arisen regarding his future. PSG Inside Actus confirms this Saturday that the goalkeeper has chosen to stay.
“The player’s intention is clear: to fight for his spot”
After several days of doubt, reflection, and verification, Lucas Chevalier has finally made his decision: he wants to stay at Paris Saint-Germain. The player’s intention is clear: to fight to win the starting spot and convince the Parisian coaching staff that he can establish himself in the long term.
Of course, things can change during the transfer window. If a club were to make an exceptional offer—beneficial for both PSG and the player—the situation could be re-evaluated. He recently turned down an offer from Rennes.
As always with rumors, we remain cautious. There is nothing concrete yet, so the situation could still evolve; the transfer market is full of surprises. However, this choice by Chevalier has already been reported, notably by Canal+, and it is not unreasonable. A player might well wish to fight for his place, especially at the reigning European champions.
Let’s not forget that talk of a potential departure amounted to little more than a flimsy rumor. While it could still happen, spending another season at PSG—and trying to make a greater impact as he settles in further—makes sense. That is certainly the case for the club, too, given the significant investment they made (€40 million).
