The 2026 summer transfer window is already being prepared by clubs, and rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain are piling up. This time, it’sPSG Inside Actus that claims Paris Saint-Germain has embarked on a major overhaul of its goalkeeping strategy, amid questions surrounding Lucas Chevalier (24 years old) and Matvey Safonov (27 years old). Several options are reportedly being explored: Elia Caprile (24 years old, Cagliari and Italy), Anatoliy Trubin (24 years old, Benfica and Ukraine), Diogo Costa (26 years old, Porto and Portugal), Gregor Kobel (28 years old, Borussia Dortmund and Switzerland), and Bart Verbruggen (23 years old, Brighton and the Netherlands).
The goalkeeping situation is accelerating. L. Chevalier has been disappointing and is heading for a departure (loan or sale). Despite some solid performances, Safonov hasn’t been entirely convincing over the long term. Paris is already exploring several options: Caprile, Trubin, D. Costa, Kobel, and Verbruggen
We can’t be certain of anything yet. These are just rumors, and PSG has some very important matches coming up. This presents an opportunity for the current goalkeepers to further establish themselves, or to reinforce the idea that the club needs to find more stability. But it seems clear that Chevalier and PSG are not satisfied with the situation of the player who signed them last summer.
It’s still possible to revive the former Lille player’s career, possibly next season. It’s a big decision, far from straightforward. Especially since another signing doesn’t offer any guarantees either. Football is far from simple. The goalkeepers mentioned here are talented, but PSG is a special step, like all the big clubs in Europe. We see that clearly with Chevalier. Sometimes, it “simply” takes time. A rare commodity in top-level football.
