US Media Predicts Safonov to Become PSG's Main Goalkeeper

Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov is ready to compete seriously with French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier for the main goalkeeper position at PSG. According to *Sports Illustrated*, Safonov has the edge for now, having successfully completed four matches as part of the starting lineup.

The article's authors noted that Chevalier has not been able to prove himself as an irreplaceable choice, while his injury in November disrupted his rhythm. Safonov has fully taken advantage of this situation.

The publication stated that whether there has been a significant shift in the hierarchy of goalkeepers will become clear over time, but for now, the advantage lies with the Russian goalkeeper. It is worth mentioning that prior to the French goalkeeper's injury, Safonov had not appeared on the field at all during the 2025/2026 season.
