PSG Issues Statement on Safonov's Future

An article about PSG goalkeeper Matvey Safonov was published in France’s L’Equipe. According to the report, Safonov played his first match of the 2025/2026 season last weekend.

"In the absence of Shevale, Russian goalkeeper Safonov played a crucial role in PSG’s 5–0 victory over Rennes," the publication stated. Journalists raised the question of whether Safonov could prove to be a competitive alternative to Shevale.

"Khvicha’s counter-attack goal was stopped, thanks to Safonov’s save. The Russian goalkeeper had a significant impact on the game," the article noted.

Additionally, the club has announced that Safonov’s departure from PSG is not being considered, as he signed a five-year contract. "He has proven his skill," the club's statement emphasized.
